This is exactly how our enemy, the devil, wants to devour us. You see satan travels all the day long without rest, picking with God's people. Well he picks with everyone, but especially believers. Once we let our guards down and get too relaxed, boom! Temptation explosively makes an entrance. Perhaps you are fasting and praying, right? Suddenly your office colleagues want to treat you to a delicious meal. What about that child of yours that is acting out more than usual? Let's not forget that spouse who is challenging you in every way possible. You're tired. You're weak. Satan thinks this is his chance to pounce in for the kill. He feeds off our weaknesses. Plotting and conjuring up devices to utterly kill us, our relationship with God, our priesthood.
However, Jesus died for our weak moments in life. Jesus death was symbolic of His strength in our weakness. No one else had the strength to do what He did so He did it on our behalf. Jesus is STILL fighting for us. The Cross not only defeated death, but The Cross also defeated satan's power over us. He no longer can overpower us while being covered in The Blood! He can plot and scheme all he wants, but it will always fail. So, we will always have weak moments in life. Still dealing with this flesh, it happens. Fortunately, we don't have to fret in our short comings. Instead, we should glorify God in them. So if he is trying to get you at work direct him to Jesus. Is he working through your family? Direct that devil to Jesus! It is #ThankfulThursday. Let's be thankful that the devil has already been defeated no matter what he is plotting against us in our times of weakness!
