Satan hates us; let me just be upfront and clear about that from the get-go! He can wrap death in paper so beautiful that suicides and overdoses are at an all time high. I repeat, Satan hates us, and he hates us even more when we are about God’s business.
Ephesians 6:12 NCV “Our fight is not against people on earth but against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly world.”
I’ve been preaching pretty hard lately about taking it to the cross! Getting in the word and hearing what God has to say about any said situation! Keeping your faith when the storms of life huff and puff, rattling your walls and windows. Guess what?
I’m under attack, not me personally. Oh no, that would be too easy! He’s attacking one of my children and their innocent child. I’ve been on a heart-wrenching roller coaster ride for the past year and a half. One step forward, three steps back, I’m in a chess match, but the rules keep changing, and I don’t seem to be informed of rule changes until they’ve been changed. It’s a very private and vulnerable place so forgive my cryptic writing. The point is Satan knows my weaknesses; He knows all of our weaknesses.
As I was on my knees yesterday in my favorite pink room, looking out the window that is my private spot of God’s endless sky tucked perfectly between two glorious treetops, I take my tears, fears, exhaustion, and request to the cross. I humbly bowed before my Lord thanking Jesus, that through Him, I was able to boldly come to the Throne of God, praying intercession for my afflicted ones.
Psalms 91:1-2 NCV “Those who go to God Most High for safety will be protected by the almighty. I will say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety and protection. You are my God and I trust you.”
Psalms 91:4 NCV “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you can hide. His truth will be your shield and protection.”
Psalms 91:14-16 NCV “The Lord says, “Whoever loves me, I will save. I will protect those who know me. They will call to me, and I will answer them. I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them. I will give them a long, full life, and they can see how I can save.”
Do I know what today holds or tomorrow will bring? No! Do I fear more roads to travel within this dark journey? I fear the unknown as all humans, but I trust I’m not alone within this darkness, and no matter what the next path is, Jesus will be holding our hands. Of this, I do not fear!
So, don’t give in and never give up! It’s darkest just before the dawn. Satan fights the hardest when he’s about to lose so that I will count this battle as a victory in the making.
Be blessed today and thank you for joining me. 🥰
