Who Is Your Greatest Enemy?

Psalms 18:2-3
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.

Who is your enemy? I won’t deny the fact, that certain people do come to mind. However, even more than that my emotions, habits, and attitudes come to my mind first. If I really sit down and think about enemies, people are last on my list. I am first!

I struggle with pride. I say that because I am a firm believer that any bad habit can be taken right back to pride. It is my pride that gives me my I don’t care, I can do what I want, when I want thoughts. These lead me to not working out, overeating, and just being lazy. When I am not taking care of myself, I start losing my emotional and mental battles. This leads down to a spritual battle and before you know it I am totally defeated.

Here is the good news. Anywhere down that rabbit hole, I have a God that is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer. I just need to cry out for help. I can be saved even from my worst enemy…ME!

Lord thank You for saving me from my worst enemy…ME!

U there?

Psalms 116:1-2
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

I would never be the person who would tell you the only person you can depend on is yourself. On the other hand, it is not fair to others for you to think you can always depend on them. I have family and friends that I love dearly and would do my best to always be there to meet their needs. However, it is unrealistic to think I can meet all of their needs all of the time.

We are fortunate to have someone in our life that can be everything we need all of the time. God hears our every desire and need. I am not saying He is a genie in a lamp and going to grant our every wish. I am saying, He is there to listen to us, laugh with us, cry with us, and, problem-solve with us, and yes pick us up, dust us off to try again. Isn’t that what we really need? We just want someone to hear us and not go through this life alone. With God, that will never happen!

Lord, thank You for always being there all the time for me and hearing me. ~amen
