Satan does not attempt to fill us with hatred of God, but with forgetfulness of God. – D. Bonhoeffer
Laban didn’t overtly try to keep Jacob from returning to his family, he just tried to keep him occupied tending his flocks. Hmm!
The greatest form of punishment that can be handed out to another human being is not an act of overt physical aggression, but to ignore them and subject them to the slow and painful effect of neglect. Solitary confinement can destroy a person’s sanity and worth, leaving them to feel less than human. In a like manner, Satan doesn’t really try to get us angry with God, he tries to get us to gradually ignore God more and more to the point where He is no longer considered relevant in the issues of our lives. Satan knows that if God is not first in our lives, God is not at all in our lives. As we are blessed with Today the question becomes will God be with us throughout it?
Until tomorrow….

“He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church…..so that in everything he might have the supremacy.” – Colossians 1:17-18
