I read this in an old devotional, /The Devil has two masterful tricks.The first is to tempt us to become discouraged, for then we are defeated and of no service to others,at least for a while.The other is to tempt us to doubt therefore breaking the bond of faith that unites us with the Father. So watch out,do not be tricked either way[G.E.M]/ It does not take much to discourage us,are you discouraged today,what can you do,well you can look
back and remember how God has helped in the past,He has not changed,He
is still the same loving and caring God. As to doubt,well this is nothing new
,the disciples had times when they doubted,the Devil works on our weak-
ness,He tempted Jesus ,after He had fasted for 40 days,he is aware of when you we most vulnerable and is quick to move against us. Let us recognise
our enemy for what he is, a liar whose only purpose is to destroy us,to cause us to doubt,and to act in ways that can cause us great harm. We have a choice to make ,either we believe what the Devil says or believe what Gods word says,the choice is ours,let us choose wisely.
A prayer.
Dear Lord ,You where tempted in all ways as we are,help us in all our weakness, and vulnerability , Amen.
