Hard Knocks

Life on the home front has not been easy lately. It seems like when it rains...It pours. We are suppose to live in this world and not be of it...But man..there are so many temptations and I am constantly wanting to be un-Christ-like and it is hard. Satan hates it when strong Christians make impacts on others. He hates it so much, that I am convinced he throws anything and everything in our way to prevent us from feeling successful in God's eyes and instead left to feel only discouragement. Well it has kind of been like that for me lately...But I am learning to reach up and snap Satan's pointed little finger in half as he tries to point doubts in my direction and just stand firm in faith and God sovereignty...and you know what I have found? A different kind of peace and I worry less. Even when things get really stinkin' crappy....and it has been lately...I don't worry as much because I am trusting God. He showed me some awesome comfort last night in Psalms 2-4. You should read it and see how much God really cares.
