Write it on your hearts.

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8. Such a sobering verse, it calls for all who read it to be alert that the devil is seeking to destroy whom ever he can. Post Kenya this has been a very present reality, I have not ever felt so attacked on a spiritual and emotional level. It must be because of the fear that Satan has that through the Power of Christ I seek to change the world. If Satan can stop anything of this nature, then he surely will try. So, I will just say it. I have struggled to stay in the word, to not be discouraged, and to be focused on him. Yet, in the mist of this struggle I have seen something beautiful happen in my life. The writer of Proverbs writes about God's word "Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart." Prov 7:3. In the mist of my struggles because of commitment to the word in the past; in scripture, song, and prayer it has just flowed out of me. "for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks." Luke 6:45c  It is so amazing to me that once you ingrain truth so deeply into every part of your being, it will begin to just flow out when times are hard or great. It has become so much a part of who your are that the Gospel becomes unforgettable, inescapable, just part of what defines you. So praise be to God for his Word that even Satan cannot remove.
