Hello friends at Rise Up Lubbock,
Have you ever been to a coffee shop
enjoying your steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee and look over at the floor
to see…. a cockroach crawling along the
tile right toward you. It ruins the mood
and you start to have doubts about the cleanliness of the restaurant. The fresh
flavor of the coffee is now tainted with the thought that is might not be as
pure as you first thought… and soon you will stop going to that shop and find a
new place to get coffee. Well, Satan is
exactly like that cockroach. He tries to get into your goods and corrupt the
purity of your thoughts. He is sneaky and he tries to hide while he is working
but when you see him it is time to move out of his reach… I’m sorry what were we saying about coffee.

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Dear Lord,
I face today with a new determination. I see
that you have put in my hand what I need to make my day successful and I intend
to use it. My God, I ask that you help me to patiently ignore the roaring of people
who are enveloped in their own self-interests. They only complain, ridicule and
find fault. Don’t let me become
distracted or tempted away from completing today’s goal. I thank you for
hearing me and I trust that you will be with me in every decision I make. Help
me remember today that every choice I make, every place I go, and every
situation I find myself in that You are there too… we are a team. Lord, You are
all I need. - Amen
