WHEN THEY HEAR

Today's reading: 2 Chronicles 16-20

"When the surrounding kingdoms heard that the Lord himself had fought against the enemies of Israel, the fear of God came over them." 2 Chronicles 20:29 NLT

Your enemy knows Whose you are.

He watches for opportune moments to step in and stir up trouble.

He keeps an eye out for the times when your faith lags, your hope is dimmed and your character is teetering on the edge.

He knows he has no chance with God watching over you, but he also knows there are occasions where you stray away from the Lord's side.

He watches for the days you believe you can handle it all yourself.

The circumstances that arise and knock the wind out of you.

It's those times when he chooses to pounce.

He rushes in.

He attempts to feed the little doubts, hoping to grow them into the size of mountains.

He is scared to death of God, but not so much of you.

So stay close to the Lord!

Walk so closely with Him that satan never has the opportunity to make his attacks.

Lean so dependently on the Lord that only when He moves will you move.
