Today’s Scripture…
Matthew 4:10-11, 17
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’” 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Thoughts…
Four little words that could change our day, “Away from me, Satan!” Do you find your anger boiling to the top? Has fear got you frozen? Are the tears of sadness spilling over? Feelings are legit. We all experience them. However, have you ever been hit with them out of the blue. You can’t place your finger on where the extreme overload is coming from today. Those feelings are not right. As a matter of fact I will go out on a limb and tell you they are lies. Not lies you are telling. Lies you are believing.
Satan loves to play with our feelings. Honesty moment, they are pretty easy to manipulate. That is exactly why we need to be on the alert. If your feelings are getting the best of you, take a moment and step back. Ask yourself if there is a legitimate reason to feeling this way. If so, you can pray and ask God for guidance and help dealing with the problem that is causing them. If not, you may want to stand firm and yell, “Away from me, Satan!” Then thank God for helping you discern the difference.
