Spiritual Warfare

Well...I must have really pissed off Satan this week. I'm not sure what I did, but he is so mad at me! I've been attacked before, but my goodness!...he's serious this time.

There have been times in the past when the enemy has come after me and landed a few punches, but I have bounced back rather easily. Unfortunately for me he caught me with my guard down and was able to hit me in such a way that it took me a while to recover. It's actually been a humbling experience because. I have learned a lot about my walk with Christ and taken note of some areas of weakness (and there are plenty!). I have gone to scripture more this week than I ever did in the past. I found so much comfort in the book of Mark. I really think this latest attack came about because my faith has grown and Satan is such a chicken that he just couldn't take it. :-)

This trial has also strengthened a few of my human relationships. I've become closer to a dear friend, and, more importantly, I've grown closer to my husband. God placed these people in my life for a reason and I don't think they would have taken the job had they known what they were getting into.

Just yesterday my husband brought a devotion to me by Charles Spurgeon. You should go to "The Daily Spurgeon" and read the post from December 8th which spoke so loudly to my heart. This blog has been such a blessing to me and I recommend it to everyone.
