KNOW WHAT'S YOURS
Today's reading:  Genesis 24-27

"Jacob replied, All right, trade me your birthright for it."  Genesis 25:31 NLT

You know the story.  A hungry man.  A deceitful brother.  An unfair trade.  A life of regrets.

You'll face the same choices today.

Satan will ask you to trade something he offers for something you've been given.

Satan will attempt to make it sound like the smart thing to do.  The easy thing to do.  The only thing to do.

But you're smarter than that.

You know that anything he offers, is a scam.  Satan is worse than the warranty on that fine item you procured after watching the late night infomercial, paid four easy payments for and when it broke came up short when looking for anyone to make good on the guarantee.

You know that anything he's wanting from you is not really yours to begin with--it's been gifted to you through Christ.  Your birthright.  Your hope.  Your peace.  Your salvation.

You have nothing on your own that satan wants.  You have nothing to deal with...and he has even less!

Don't fall for his tricks today.
