When the devil starts tampering with you, dare to resist him.... our God loves that kind of courage among His people. - A.W. Tozer
Long ago I learned from Treesa not to let circumstamces control me, but to control them. I learned that I could look adversity in the face and say - "Don't Do Dat!"
Prayer
God grant that I will be strong and not give in to circumstances. Grant me wisdom to resist the devil.
To meditate on
Stand your ground.... Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort (1 Corinthians 15:58 The Message)
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)
To ask myself
Under adverse circumstances do I give up? Or do I, like Treesa, look things squarely in the eye and with God's enabling take charge or the situation? Do I obey God's command to resist the enemy and experience him fleeing from me?
