Misconception

When we read blogs or read self help books, sometimes we are under the misconception that the author is claiming to have mastered the skill they write about. This is a lie of the Devil! Satan wants you to feel inferior to this person in hope of making you believe that there is no reason for you to try, because it’s out of reach. You have too much to fix before you can live that way. Wrong!

First of all, remember that if Satan is speaking, he is lying! How do you know its Satan speaking? God would never tear you down. God would never tear your spouse apart in your eyes. God would never tear your children apart in your eyes or anyone else for that matter. So, the “I’m not good enough, He’s not good enough, there’s no hope for them” ideas that enter our heads, are all lies from Satan. When I write a blog, I make it part of my daily devotions. I am learning it as I am typing it. I have found if you take notes, you remember it better. Or, if I hear myself repeat it, I retain it better. So, don’t let Satan lie to you and say I have accomplished an unreachable goal. Or, that I’m there! I’ve reached my destination and I’m boasting, I am learning and sharing what I’m learning as I’m learning it! That’s the beauty of this for me. I’m not mastering a skill; I’m learning to hand a situation to the Master. Will I let my life clutter up tomorrow? Did anyone see what kind of weekend I had? Of course, tomorrow, I will learn again! My blog is me learning in real time and inviting you into my Bible study. Every day is a new battle, every battle is spiritual. Whether we recognize it or not. “And the Lord said to Satan, ‘From where do you come?’ So Satan answered the Lord and said, ‘From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.’” Job 1:7   It’s time we recognize that Satan hate us. He wants us to fail. There is nothing here that we can do alone! Seriously, if we could be humble and know that “I can’t even walk, without you holding my hand” we wouldn’t clutter up our lives near as much.
