Out of nowhere, someone, something, somehow, you find yourself in the middle of a full on attack of the enemy. He's coming full-throttle, hitting all of your buttons, tapping all of your soft spots, and taking you to that place that brings out the worst in you all in one fell swoop.
Before you can think, you're reacting, giving him tit for tat, striking back with what you've got not thinking about who you are, Who you represent, and who just might be watching you.
Then it's over. You're left wondering how in the world you got so far out of line. You marvel at the way you behaved and feel the twinge of guilt recognizing that you slipped so badly.
Sneak attacks from the enemy are the worst. Which is why the Bible tells us to be vigilant and always on guard against him. (1 Peter 5:8) The devil is always searching for an opening, it's our job not to give him any room.
Keep your guard up by meditating on God's Word and keeping in constant communication with the Holy Spirit. Feed yourself His word, so that it will be the river of life that flows out of you no matter what comes your way. As you keep your ears inclined to God's Word, He will guide you in all truths. No matter what crosses your path, you can be assured that your response will originate out of the love of God that you keep in your heart.
Never fall victim to the sneak attack again!
Verse of the Day: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 1 Peter 5:8, 9
