Once you open the floodgates, you cannot tell the water where to run. – T. Sowell
Yes, Job's friends were miserable comforters indeed, but he did invite them over. Hmm!
When the levees gave way some years ago in New Orleans, the only thing left to do was assess the damage afterwards. It was much more damage than expected or estimated. So it is when we decide to engage our enemy - Satan. So often, when Satan comes our way with his calling card many of us will hold a debate with him. This is wrong and plays right into his hands, just ask Eve. The implications of one sinful encounter are enormous and impact far more people than you will ever imagine. Satan will always take us further than we want to go, stay longer than our invitation, and cost us more than we ever anticipated. As the day unfolds may we be wise and practice much self-control.
Until Monday…..
Pastor Botts “Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.” – I Thessalonians 5:21-22
