How is Satan robbing your joy? Lately I have felt so distracted. Hints of deceit had been allowed to creep into my thoughts. I do not know why this was a surprise since Satan is the master of lies. Not to give Satan too much credit…I realized the real problem was with me. I have the choice to listen to the “Voice of Truth”! I am a child of God and have so much to be joyful about! Yet I allow myself to pay attention to these little deceptive seed plants ~ to get distracted from the plan God has for me. If Satan can rob our joy and steal our witness, then he makes us useless in the kingdom of God
I do not want to be the “Christian” that sits on the sidelines so distracted I am useless or even worse harmful to others salvation. There is so much that God wants to teach us if we are just willing to listen, and how exciting it is to hear Him when He speaks! These past few weeks God has spoke to me though many avenues over and over the same truths keep popping up…(I guess I am just like a child I have to be told over and over until it sinks in.) I am so thankful God is patient with me.
Today I will proclaim my JOY in JESUS!!! I pray all my fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ can do the same.
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation. Psalms 35:9
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation. Psalms 35:9

"Why do we allow our flesh to rule us? Are we not slaves to Christ? Why do we feel the need to please people when the only one that matters is God?"
It's hard, at times, to distinguish what is our will and what is God's will. Our thoughts aren't always labeled with a return addresses. But I think it is God's will that we learn from those instances where we can distinguish his will from our own in hindsight :)
Thank you Leah so much for writing about this, I needed to hear this more than ever. I feel Satan is trying to destroy me from the inside out. Its like I'm in quicksand and sinking fast. I know that God is only making me stronger I know he has something planned for me I just don't know what it is yet.
In Christ
