Whatever we fill our life and our heart with we reap. When we are walking with God the devil is going to do his best to tempt you and distract you from the path and the freedom God has for you. He will constantly be trying to chip away at you. If you allow yourself to be filled with the devil's lies, you will slowly be pulled away. But if we resist the devil and fight his lies with the truth, the word of God, he will not be able to gain any ground. When we know who we are with Jesus, we can resist the lies the devil tries to throw at us.
When we draw close to God and are constantly seeking to be in his presence we will feel him near. He never abandons us and will always be with us. We need to fill our heart with God's word. The more we have of God in our life the more we can feel his presence.
Prayer:
Father God we thank you for this day and all of your many blessings. Guard our hearts and our minds Lord. Help us to be filled with you and your word. Give us the strength and the knowledge to resist the devil. Help us to draw closer to you and stay on your path for us, in Jesus name we pray Amen
Scripture:
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
James 4:7-8 ESV
