Satan hates authentic Born Again Believers,
because we spend each moment of our day listening to God’s Spirit and obeying
His promptings.
The devil's only recourse is to plant doubts
in our mind about whether or not the thought in our mind is from God. We
analyze the leading and often decide it is only our human thought.
Then, we end up in confusion and even regret,
because we missed a great opportunity designed just for us by our loving
Heavenly Father. We can quickly repent and then hear from God for our next
moment.
When the thought is from God, His Holy Spirit
who abides in us gives us His peace deep within our spirit. If there is any
doubt or unrest in our spirit, we stop and wait on God to clarify His will for
the moment.
The Spirit and the Word never disagree. If the
thought in our mind is not confirmed by the Bible, then it is not of God. Satan
will attempt to twist scriptures or make us distrust God’s Word.
As children of God, we do not live in fear or
confusion, but in love - with spiritual power and a stable mind (Romans 8:4; 2
Timothy 1:7). Walking in God’s Will keeps us from having the anxiety and stress
of a hectic pace.
God’s presence within us assures us of His
will. His omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence guide us throughout our
life, so that we can honor God in our thoughts, words and actions (Proverbs
1:7).
Prayer:
Father God, we dwell in You as our sanctuary
(Isaiah 8:13-14). You are our comfort and delight. We look forward to serving
You each day and enjoying Your presence now and in eternity.
You give us wisdom and direction each moment
of our day, so that we can abide in Your presence. You strengthen us, help us
and lift us up by Your mighty right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
Thought for the Day:
Living in the Spirit is a life of security,
peace and fulfillment.
