Grace for your spirit September 22, 2008

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. I Peter 5:8

Any time we make a decision to disobey the Lord, the devil will be glad to help us. When Jonah ran from his mission, the devil made a ship available for him. When Cain was aggravated with Abel, the devil put sin at his door, and it mastered him. When the children of Israel waited for Moses to come down with the commandments of God, the devil got Aaron to build a gold calf. The list of times the devil has paved the way to sin and rebellion is endless. We may be promising to be faithful to God this week, if nothing comes up. The devil will help find something for us. We may think we can turn away from God and we are on our own, but we are mistaken. The devil is ready to step right in and help us. Never give the devil a ride. He will always want to drive.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
