James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Oh my goodness! It is 9:30 at night and I am just now getting around to actually finishing my blog. I am really wishing I would have looked at it more closely this morning. Maybe I would have avoided this day!
Most people talk about Friday the 13th. My husband kept saying well, it is Monday the 23rd . . . LOL! From the moment we got up until about 5:30 tonite, I can see we were so under attack. I mean EVERYTHING that could go wrong, DID! Let me tell you, tempers flared, angry words were exchanged and apologies had to be made. I can also say as the night went on, laughs were shared.
This morning, when I looked at James 4:7-8, I fell in love with how the Message bible put it. “So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field.” Little did I know I was going to live it today. It took us a good part of the day to put this advice into action, but we did and God was true to His word.
You know, come to think of it, I am glad today played out the way it did. It would have been so easy to pay lip service to these verses for my blog today. Instead, I lived
the action and am here to say, “I not only survived, I battled and won!” Victory is ours. We just need to claim it!
Lord, I am listening! It took me a while, but I am listening now, and you are so good to answer! ~amen
