Day 126: Satan Leave Us Alone

11/19/2015

Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walks about,
seeking whom he may devour.
I Peter 5:8

Spirtual warfare is real! I refuse to let Satan win this battle! Our family is getting nailed left and right! From Madison's gut GVHD getting worse to now Maebry having the stomach flu. Along, with our kids' health problems, add migraines, personal attacks, and several other distractions to keep us from God's work. As a believer in Jesus Christ, I know I'm a threat to Satan's work when he is attacking me.... In the last week, I have had to retype my blog almost every other day due to it disappearing, I've dealt with criticism for doing the blog, and also personal doubt. Let me tell you, as I've told Satan, God is my leader! When God ask me to do this blog and anything else I'm going to do it! I will not live in fear and I will not let Satan when this battle!

When I'm close to my breaking point God sends relief, assurance, and blessings! Regardless, of the attacks Satan sends your way rely on God and his wisdom.

Be aware of the attacks, but don't focus on them. If there is a distraction/weakness he will continue to use that until you turn it over to God. Know your weaknesses and pray about them. Satan wants you to deny and question God's leadership.

Satan will do anything to make you break. He uses people close to you to cause you to stumble, he attacks those close to you, and tempts you that denying God will make your life easier.

Keep your eyes on the Lord!

Satin sure is trying hard in our family too. But you're right. He forgot who is in charge. God only allows the devil to test us to refine us and strengthen. Continuing to pray for Madison.

Satan wouldn't be working so hard against you if God didn't have something for you to accomplish. Even though we have never met, your family is very important to my family. My three year old knows your children by name and we all pray for you guys often. This week we have been praying for "Baby Madison" aloud together several times a day. I don't know why you received criticism about your blog, but I for one am so thankful that you take the time to blog. We care so much about Madison and your family and value updates. We will continue to pray for better health for you all. A verse I love (and sometimes have to camp on) that the one above reminded me of is Psalm 16:8, "I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."

So sorry to hear that Maebry has the flu on top of everything else. I know it is really going around. Your family is in my prayers every day, several times a day. People can be cruel and hurtful, but glad you listen to the Lord and do His will. Your blogs are such an inspiration to others to be a better person and really follow the Lord at all times, not just when it is easy. Hope that Madison and Maebry feel better soon! Prayers to all of you!
