Deception. Discouragement. Disappointment. I know, I know there are a lot more than just those three D's, that's just what I'm going focus on today (:
When was the last time you lied? The last time you slashed someone down? The last time you let somebody down? I know for me the answer to all of those is sometime today, and probably is for you too. That's just life. Wrong, there's so much more to life than that! Unfortunately we are constantly causing and experiencing these three D's, every day of every year. That's kind of sad isn't it? We hate being deceived, discouraged, and disappointed but we have no problem turning around and doing those exact same things to other people. Isn't that sad? I think it is. We've all turned into a big bunch of hypocrites ):
Thankfully, it's only partially our fault. Our hearts are vulnerable and that serves as a perfect way for the enemy to sneak his way into God's kingdom. BUT we have the power to defeat that!
"How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray away from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I may not sin against you."
Psalm 119:9-11
That's our defense mechanism to defeating the enemy and the three D's of life that he creates: hiding God's word in our hearts. This is something that I'm TERRIBLE at, but also something that I'm really trying to work on. It has recently become so clear to me of how important this is in my walk with the Lord. I HATE being deceived, discouraged, and disappointed and knowing that Christ is really awesome and so much bigger than anything the enemy can try to do in my life is amazing. Hiding away His word will allow me to fight off those D's, that's pretty rad (:
