I've got on my favorite shirt today: "Poop on Satan". I'm surprised it doesn't have holes in it I've worn it so much. I sort of wanted to remind him of my feelings toward him as I was reminded of how evil and hateful he is. Last night Mark told me we had gotten a bill from Caromont saying we owed $2400.00, as in insurance had already paid, and this is what we actually still owed. I felt really good yesterday, but after that news I felt my spirit sink. I got up, and put my shirt on. Somewhere in my getting ready I started thinking, "Why do I wear this shirt? Why do I hate Satan?" I realized that it's all about me. I hate Satan because he bothers me, and disturbs my plans. Ex:Causing me surgery complications, causing me financial problems, causing me insurance problems, causing me grief. Do you see the pattern here? What if I had a life free from struggle or problems of any sort? Would I still hate Satan as much? I realized this morning that my feelings toward him and his evil are about far more than my momentary problems, or at lest they should be. My King, my Savior, my Best Friend, my Father, my Brother, are being talked about and lied about as Satan prepares for a battle that he will loose. I should hate Satan because he has taken offense to my Lord, not only for the times that he's bothering me. Maybe that's why the Lord allows Satan to approach our heels because if we never had to realize what a scoundrel he is, we wouldn't.
Ephesians 6:12
10-12And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels
