The Enemy is Always Lurking

1 Corinthians 10:11

¹² If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.

We must always realize the times of some of our greatest vulnerability to the enemy is often when we are the closest to the Lord.  The enemy is so cunning that he places things or opportunities in our path ever so slightly that we may not even notice them at the time.  We can become to confident in our own abilities to realize we should be praying at this moment instead of taking the next step.

We cannot accomplish the Lord's will for our lives without Him in complete control.  Sometimes when we spend so much time with Him we can find ourselves over confident and even cocky.  Both of these are the opening for the enemy to attack.  We must always remember to walk daily with great humility and discernment.  Over confidence in our own abilities to make the right decision is often times disastrous . Our confidence should be in the Lord's promises to never forsake us and Love us unconditionally.  He has told us He will never allow us to experience more than we can bear and has told us He will always give us a way out but the only way to do that is to completely trust Him in all situations and pray constantly for His protection and guidance in our daily walk.  Be CONFIDENT in the Lord in all things and surrender your confidence, your will and your desires at His feet and watch the Lord fill your sails with His glorious power.  This next statement should be all we need to wake each day with and abundance of Hope & Love.

For all of us who have and accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord & Savior and asked Him to forgive us of our sins and believe he died on the cross and rose from the dead three days later to ascend to the right hand of the Father, remember this:

WE'VE ALREADY WON!

I want to thank all of you for your support and for starting your day with a "Cup of God's Coffee".

Godspeed,
