The BIBLE states, “Be SOBER, Be VIGILANT; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour…” (I Peter 5:8) Respectfully, “The Devil PLAYS Us BIG TIME!”
BRING IT DOWN ON HOME:
That old dragon is preparing an after dinner dessert for you and yours, but the sweet dish is not edible and it show ain‘t desirable! When you think all is well, it ain’t! If you are not careful the devil will steal your joy, hope, and charity. The devil will make a saved man drank (if possible)…The devil will make you act up so badly your children will ask you “what’s wrong”…The devil will make you look like a fool… Remember the story of Nabal (a.k.a. fool) and Abigail? Nabal refused to give food to David (a man after God’s own heart) and his mighty men. Instead, Nabal pledged allegiance to king Saul (whom God rejected as king). Contrary , Abigail (wife to Nabal) requested a servant to saddle her mule and she accompanied her servants to deliver food, cheese, grapes, bread and wine to David and his men. In the end, Nabal died abruptly and David married lucky Abigail.
There are times, you cannot reason with people and this includes family members, friends, managers, supervisors, co-workers, church members, bill collectors, and so on. Our sinful natures feeds our big egos and we act up! In fact, innocent babies cry when there is nothing wrong with them. WHY? They just want Mommy’s attention and they want Mommy or Grandma to make a big fuss over them.
Don’t worry, there is help for you. It takes the SPIRIT of GOD to fight the evil forces which surround you and yours. Alone, you cannot the Lucifer & Company! Even if you had eyes in the back of your head and sharp blades as finger nails, you cannot fight what you cannot see! Can you see demonic forces? Apostle Paul says, “…put on the whole armor of GOD…in order to stand against the enemy…and stand still waiting….I say wait upon the Lord GOD….and He WILL renew your strength…” This may sound silly but it is not!
“The Devil PLAYS Us BIG TIME” as he is the prince of this world but GOD is LORD over Heaven, Earth, and the Universe at large! However, the devil knows that his time is about to end. Look at it like this: I believe the News Media stated that on Black Friday shoppers spent about 5 billion dollars. Some people lined up at the front doors of stores and others slept in their cars waiting for the doors to open. They had hot coffee and tea mugs as well as cookies, pies, hamburgers, and what ever. Folks played it big time with the intent to spend big money! Shoppers understood that the first hour shoppers got the best bargains as well as the most. I heard a store clerk say that a Macy’s store manager did a count down (at midnight) from 10, 9, 8 , 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and the people came in like buffaloes. Likewise, the devil is shopping for souls and he knows just where to go! Don’t allow the devil to play you! Instead put your trust in the Lord God of Heaven, Earth, the Universe, and beyond!
Have a Blessed Day!
