August 9th:
Through time and through my own experiences fiery darts don't get thrown at me from just one direction but many. The devil is quick to dispatch his army once the snowball gets tumbling down the hill, picking up speed and more snow the further and faster it tumbles. All the while he laughs as the pressure mounts and life gets more and more difficult for you.
My response? Maybe immediately, an- are you kidding me??? Once I'm hit with the initial blast and it occurs to me that this is no coincidence that I'm getting hit from every side today, a light goes off- this is an attack! When most people hear attack, it immediately invokes a response to fire back. But this is actually the time to shake it off and kick back and watch God work.
It gets terribly tiresome dealing with satan's minion folk in my life, especially the ones I can't just sever ties with. They're the ones that fire away in an unrelenting manner. They're the ones that are unmerciful even when you've been merciful. They're the ones that have taken advantage of your good nature and kindness.
God says not to seek vengeance because vengeance will be His.
Oh but when Lord, when we ask???
It may not be here. It may not be in this life time here on planet earth. Just take heart knowing, one day, all of their misgivings and evil will be repaid. In the meantime, we can pray for those who trespass against us, even if at first it's through gritted teeth...
After the morning I've already had, I'll be found on my knees later praying through gritted teeth because that is the very least my Lord asks of me.
Have a blessed day ya'll.

These words speak to me, thank you. And remember 'when our knees hit the ground we touch the sky'. God Bless.
