Today’s Scripture…
Galatians 2:19-20
19 “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Thoughts…
When I read these verses this morning, two things came to mind, “Not my problem!”, and “Talk to the hand, cause the ears ain’t listening.” The last one I would like to change to “cause the spirit ain’t listening.” These are two phrases you can shoot back at Satan any old time!
When we become Christians, we are no longer our old selves. We are new. We are filled with Christ. We give Him control of our lives. He gets to take on our mess, if you will. Think about it. If we have a need, where do we turn? If we are in trouble, where do we turn? If we are being tempted, where do we turn. Jesus said to cast all your cars on Him. ALL YOUR CARES! If that doesn’t sound like the perfect, “Not my problem!”, what does!
As for the “Talk to the Hand”, Satan no longer has a hold on you. He does not control your life, or the situations around you. What is going on may be bad, but your response is up to you. You can listen to Satan’s lies and crawl into your little shell of self pity. OR, you can look him straight in the face, throw up that hand and say, “Talk to the had, cause the spirit ain’t listening!” We don’t have to take it from him!
So, which do you choose today? Do you want to follow Jesus or Satan’s lead. I, for one, want to stand up and remind Satan, “Not my problem! Talk to the hand, cause the spirit ain’t listening!”
Prayer…
Lord, thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for for intercepting Satan, so I can look at Him and say. “Not my problem! Talk to the hand!” ~amen
