Want a way to fight temptation from the devil? Learn from the wisdom of my six year old daughter. Last Tuesday before Thanksgiving, my daughter told me this story about what happened to her at school. She looked at me with her beautiful blue eyes and said, "Daddy today at school, all of my friends got in trouble for passing notes to each other during a movie. And daddy, they tried to pass the note to me, but I did the "double ear cover" and said 'Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!' you are not going to tempt me devil, no way, no how!" I could not stop laughing. I affirmed her and said,"You keep "double ear covering" Satan."
I know this a cute story but what a reminder and picture it paints for us not to believe the accuser. Yes the accuser's voice can be strong, but "double cover" the ears of your heart and mind with the grace of Jesus Christ. Turn to Christ and know the accuser cannot have any place where the presence of the Lord dwells. Silence the lies of the accuser in the ame of Jesus Christ.The victory is in him.
"Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: 'Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Annointed. For the accuser of our brothers is cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night." Revelation 12:10.
I bet some faces lit up when she said that =D
