Have you ever felt like someone was toying with you? I believe he thinks he is just so clever. He thinks he is so powerful. He is more powerful than we by ourselves would ever want to battle. His attacks come so early in our infant walk with Christ. We pose no threat to him before we are a Christian, but he has seen enough of Christ's power at work in His followers that he doesn't want to mess with us. The cost of discipleship is a hard bill for us to pay. Sometimes, unfortunately, it can seem like signing a contract and then realizing you didn't read the fine print that details additional fees. We have to realize that Christ has not promised us "a wonderful life." He has promised us an abundant life that overflows into eternal life. Satan would love it if he could choke out your faith with temptations, trials, attacks, and doubts. We would love to run the Christian walk, but most of the time we find ourselves at a limping walk or even a dragging crawl. I am determined to take every step forward and to help carry as many with me along the way. Satan, don't get in my way... Christ is going to crush you for your attacks on His beloved children. I am NOT THERE YET, but I am going on with Jesus!
