There is a situation in my life that has been really hard for me to deal with. Some days are better than others and this afternoon/evening has been one of the rougher ones. After I put Dylan to bed, I grabbed New Day New You by Joyce Meyer and said "God I need a word." I opened the book and the title read "More Than Conquerors." I just had to smile. God's reminder that I will over come this situation. The whole devotion was good, but the lines that stood out the most were "Whenever a trial of any kind comes against you, always remember: This too, shall pass! Be confident that during the trial you will learn something that will help you in the future." I especially like the second one! I was reminded earlier about God perfecting us through trials and that gold is purified through flames. Every trial, every tribulation, every struggle is designed to help me become the person God created me to be.
I also decided to glance at the devotion on the other page to see what it had to say. The title read "Know Your Enemy." I knew exactly what it was referring to since I have been reminding myself for quite some time now that my fight is not against flesh and blood.
