Good morning! How are we faithing? Sometimes the things we do surprise even ourselves. Have you ever reacted to something and then asked yourself what that was about? Why did I react that way? In times of duress and even times of complete calm there are triggers that cause us to act, say or simply feel a certain way and we don't know why. I want to encourage you to explore why. Don't beat yourself up, be honest with yourself. Try to figure out why and only then are you able to modify that behavior. I know I react to certain things and it goes way back to childhood. I say things and hear my Dads voice. I also know that the enemy of our souls can sometimes toss a bone out there too and unaware we pick it up. Anything the enemy can do to trip us up, they will do. As mature believers we have to be ready to dump that self preservation attitude because often the things done to us are not personal attacks by that person but a slipping in of the enemy and as those buttons get pressed, fights ensue. Ever have an argument over nothing and you don't even know why? This is what we are looking at. This holiday season can be brutal in self imposed expectations and we end up on edge. Prime enemy territory so if you find yourself worked up or flying off the deep end for no apparent reason, pause and pray to our father in heaven because he is right there. Hey people, you are not alone so understand and pray for others that seem to attack you...just pay attention and be quick to admit you reacted instead of acted and things can return to normal. Don't forget your armor out there....
Joh 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
Eph 6:13-17
Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
remember Bill Salvatore
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your peace and love poured out on us. Help us recognize the snares of the enemy. Help us not lose perspective when we are rushed or stressed out. Help us remember you are our comfort. Bless this day, in Jesus name, amen
