| This world can be a scary place. It’s often easy to say, “We trust God.” Yet these very words can be hard to actually live out. When we truly find rest and hope in Him alone, nothing has the power to shake us, not even the enemy’s lies. We stand on firm ground, safe territory. We’re protected, surrounded, and held secure. But it’s a choice we must make every day, to “dwell” in that safe place. From the moment our feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan will work hard to do all that he can to distract, overwhelm, and frustrate us, stirring up worry or strife. Often his ways are subtle, other times they're more clear. But it’s what he does best. Stealing. Killing. Destroying. When the enemy’s lies seem to get louder and stronger, it’s often hard to hear the truth. God’s voice can get lost in the pressing worries and defeating thoughts that rise up strong. But we have a choice in who we listen to. Don’t let the enemy win. Say “no” to his lies and taunting fears. Recognize who is at the root of it all. Push past his lies; step over his traps. Choose to press in close to the God who loves you far more than you could ever imagine. Read His powerful words that breathe peace over your mind and power into your Spirit. For He is the One who sets us free. He is the One who helps us to live victoriously, over the enemy’s schemes. God gives us the power through His Holy Spirit to live free from the entanglement of deception. He gives wisdom and discernment to make the right choices. He gives joy and peace deep inside; and the assurance, that no matter what we face, He is with us. 5 Prayers of Strength: Listening for God’s Voice Over Satan’s Lies: |
