When Annie was in elementary school, while waiting for a ride home one day with a friend, a boy started picking on the two girls. Ann, who was tiny at that age, swung her book bag at the boy and knocked him down. He never hassled them again.
The last few days, we’ve been being tempted to give in to earthly fears. I’ve been having a number of wipe out migraines, and we’ve been tempted to believe more of the enemy’s lies about some other things as well. This morning, I got up feeling pretty bad. Then, I read my Bible reading for today and the Holy Spirit began lifting me up. He told me not to focus on how I felt (again), but rather to focus on God and His Word. I went to Annie and began reading today’s passage to her and building her up in the Lord. I hope someone needs to hear this today…☺
It doesn’t matter how you feel or what’s going on in your life. The devil’s a liar. Don’t give into earthly fears.
Swing your Book (Bible) at the devil and encourage yourself in the Lord with the Word.
Be strong and of a good courage…Only be thou strong and very courageous…Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: For the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest…Only be strong and of a good courage.
From Joshua Chapter 1
We love you all.
God bless,
Mark
