NOT THIS WEEK
Today's reading: Exodus 21-24

"Take no bribes, for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see..." Exodus 23:8 NLT

With you as witnesses, I'm stating here and now...Satan will not get to me this week!

He has bribed me. He pushed my buttons. He's laid out the tastiest bait. He has fitted me with glasses that blur the lines between right and wrong, blessing and curse. He has set as a target. He has distracted. He has ridiculed. He has used every trick in the book.

And I've reacted in ways that tickle him pink. I have allowed him to steer me off the course God and I were traveling. I have been ignoring God's warnings, shunning God's nudgings and refusing to listen to God tell me satan was a liar.

I've blown up. I've ranted. I've raved. I've been snippish, critical and sharp-tongued. I've taken his bait--hook, line, sinker and fishing pole. I've bought into his lies. I've allowed his lies to influence my actions, my witness and my faith.

But not this week!

I'm on to him. I'm tired of his games. I'm fed up with his lies. I'm ready to shed some of the burdens he's been placing on my shoulders.

God and I have this week covered!

Satan will not win this week.
