Day 9 –  Pep Talk: How to Conquer Sabotage by Satan

Good morning! 

We’re continuing our SECOND week of the 21 Day Bible Reading Challenge! (Join in at ANY time!)

Today’s topic will hopefully encourage you to keep taking another step forward!

How to conquer sabotage by Satan

At the beginning of the year, we often get motivated to walk closer to God.  We set up some great goals to read our Bible and pray every day.  We’re so excited because THIS time we’re going to do better than ever before!

We start out strong.  As a couple of days pass, we feel elated that we’re still in the race.  We’re off to a good start just as we planned we would be!

And then, one morning an unexpected interruption occurs. We end up getting side-tracked and never get back to our Bible reading. Things begin to plummet downward because after missing a couple of days of reading our Bible, it just seems impossible to squeeze it back into our day.

We FEEL like a failure as a Christian because once again we didn’t stick in there.

Have you wondered why it’s so DIFFICULT to consistently read your Bible and pray?

You can be sure that Satan is out to sabotage your efforts.  He knows your weakness and mine.  He will ALWAYS throw many obstacles in our way to throw us off track. Be encouraged to know that you’re not alone with this battle.

Without a doubt, there is not one of us perfect. (Romans 3:10)   We ALL fall off the wagon at times, but the difference is the ONE who keeps getting back up will keep progressing FORWARD.

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.  – Psalm 53:3 KJV

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. – Proverbs 24:16 KJV

For a just man falleth seven times Proverbs 24:16 KJV #Bibleverses #proverbs

Don’t let Satan rob the JOY that you’ll receive by walking closer to God this year!

Don’t stay down on the ground!  When you fall off the wagon, get back up.  Let’s keep going for the glory of God!

God is NOT waiting for you to become PERFECT before He can work through you.  He loves you right where you’re at today.

To receive all God’s blessings, just keep putting Him back into FIRST place when you fall off track.  Conquer Satan’s sabotage using the Word of God and memorizing Scripture.

My pastor often reminds us with this saying…

God uses sinners quote #christianquotes #christianity

Remember, God has always used sinners because sinners are always what He’s had.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

    Oh how this is so me! I just literally prayed to God and asked Him to forgive me for always starting off strong but then fall. I needed to be reminded that I am not perfect, but that God sees my heart’s desire to place Him first in my life! I have to continually die to self daily! In Christ’s Precious Name~

      Becky, Amen! We ALL battle the flesh, and it’s just good to remember that it is indeed a daily dying to self and just getting back up to do what we’re suppose to do.
