DAILY PRAYER

     Good morning! How are we faithing? When we have errant thoughts come around we are prone to fondling. We fondle them because of curiosity, intrigue maybe but most times it's out of selfishness and the enemy knows it. Our own lusts and wants, if left to just run,  will develop into sin. We as believers need to learn to recognize those thoughts that can lead astray even the elect and take em captive and rebuke em. I'm as guilty as anyone of snatching a thought as it goes by and fondling it a little but I'm gettin better. By getting input from the Word every day we start to recognize thoughts and play with them less because we start to see the danger. I still day dream about cruisin in a muscle car or playing in the old band but they are short breaks from reality usually triggered by stimulus of some sort. Staying in that day dream is where one could get off the path really far and anyone who has day dreamed knows exactly what I am saying. Our battle isn't really the tangible stuff we face every day, unless we let it, but more with our thinking. "This should be different", "that shouldn't be that way" or the worst, "I wish".  Deal with what is in front of you. Pray quick. Rebuke what is unhealthy or serves no good purpose and always be mindful of the enemies traps because;


Eph 6:12
 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

and remember;


1Pe 5:8
 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,

and remember  this too;

Job 1:7
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
