Put It On

Good Mornin 🙂 ‘!  How many of us feel like Satan’s coming against us from the moment our alarm goes off? For me, I get up, get Puppy’s meds, make my coffee, study my Bible and then right about the time I’m really focused and strong in the Word someone will call or something will happen. It only takes a millisecond for me to get mad, upset, or frustrated. I’m great when I’m just reading the Word but WHOA it is such a different story when I have to apply it lol.

This morning while taking Puppy outside to potty and in the MIDDLE of saying Psalm 23 ALOUD, Puppy snatches up a baby bird clenched in her teeth. In the matter of no time…BAM! I’m pissed ! How did that happen so quickly?  Satan got into my head just like that and I was distracted.  

I made a commitment about 8 months ago to bear down and really work on these things and to walk the walk not just talk about it. It’s hard….because life happens. I’m a reactor and most of the time an OVER reactor!

I challenge you today to be mindful and really focus on how you react to your day to day frustrations. Satan throws the simplest things on our path to screw with us. Don’t bite from his dangling hook. Recognize it and choose a different response! Put on the armor of God first thing in the morning and keep it on all day.  Put on the helmet of salvation, that breastplate of righteousness, and pull out your sword of the spirit and use it against Satan’s fiery darts.  It’s not at all easy because we’ve got to continually remind ourselves that we’re already armed but if we will make a commitment to get in front  of it before it puts us in the rear and then ask God for his help, we will be on the head and not the tail of the devil’s schemes.

Have a blessed day! Love ya! ?
