I almost feel like thanking that evil little devil. Except that I know that his intentions are wholly dishonorable, selfish, and bent on my entire destruction.
What am I talking about?
Each trial I have in my life that I beat, each obstacle in my path that I climb up and over, each temptation that I recognize and reject only builds higher the eternally impenetrable wall that I am building between myself and “the adversary”.
It is almost as if Lucifer himself is handing me each brick in the wall that will eventually completely bind him and make me impervious to his evil intentions. I am sure that he means for each brick to hurt me and cause me to stumble. Instead, however, I am taking what he is throwing at me and using it to create his own impervious prison.
Instead of giving any kind of credit to that now evil and fallen son of the morning, I instead praise my all-knowing and ever-loving Heavenly Father by whose inspiration I am able to learn all things and grow to become more like He is. It is through His grace and support that I become stronger and through His love that I grow closer to Him.
Good, will, in the end, always triumph over evil!!! Who is on the Lord’s side? Who?
