The mind…it’s Satan’s favorite place to mess with us.  He is a finite created being and he cannot know our thoughts nor can he put thoughts in our minds. However, don’t underestimate his skills and schemes.  He, and his minions, are super intelligent and super observant.  They know our weaknesses and are experts at throwing those “fiery darts” at us in their attempts to trip us up and lure our minds away from our Lord Jesus and His powerful Word. Put on the The Armor of God at the start of every day and stand firm against the devil’s wicked schemes (Ephesians 6:11)!

 

Ephesians 6:13-18

13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15 and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit.

 

Colossians 3:2 & 16

2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth…16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you.

The Lord bless you and keep you…
