The devil is a tricky one. He comes to steal kill and destroy. He creeps into our minds, tip toes into our thoughts and slides words in and if we are not careful we believe them.
Today was a bit overwhelming. Iris asked me why and I'm not sure that I can say exactly. Maybe it was the fatigue or all the walking or all the new things I was being exposed to all at once. Or may e it was my inability to carry on a conversation or even remotely follow one or e fact that most of the day I was at a complete loss as to what was going on. Or maybe it was e heat or the fact that I was just completely unsure of everything... Or maybe it was a combination of it all mixed with subtle thoughts thrown in by the devil himself.
As I took a shower tonight the water was cool and it obviously wasn't like showers at home. As I did I heard, "and u got how many wks left of this." tired as I was I immediately recognized this voice not as my own but a much more cunning and evil one... I knew this because immediately I thought "what? This isn't even that bad!"
The devil seeks to steal kill and destroy, but Christ came to give life and give it more abundantly.
It's so easy to give in to those voices, to hear them and believe them. It's easy to take the voice at his word and allow whatever dreams or correctness we had in our lives to die. That's what happened to me a whole back and I will not allow that t happen again.
So as the days go n pray for me and for iris that we would give no footholds, we wouldn't heed the words that we sometimes hear whispering I. Our ears, but that we would hold on to truth... the Truth.
Started reading Radical tonight... Absolutely wonderful! This guy is saying stuff I have been wanting to say for years, but I won't write on it now... For now I will go to bed because I'm exhausted and mosquitos are biting me lol
