Oy vey! I had to repent after reading this
one . . . .
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm
139:14
This morning I was having a rough start getting out of bed. My
paralysis was giving me fits. I shook my head and growled,
"This body is a pain... I hate it!"
Why was that so awful? Because the Enemy has a deep hatred of my
flesh and blood and all I was doing was agreeing with him. He gets
a charge when I bad-mouth my body. And he would like to get you to
do the same.
Why? Because your body, even underneath wrinkles or fat, and
despite the ravages of illness or old age, is made in the image of
God. Your heart, mind, hands, and feet are stamped with the imprint
of the Creator. Little wonder that the Devil wants you to be
ashamed of your body!
This morning I had, once again, to plug my ears against the lies of the
Tempter and remember that I am "fearfully and wonderfully
made." I rehearsed the old, familiar truth that God has a plan
for this flesh and blood of mine. That's why the Devil considers my
body a threat -- he understands that when I yield to God my body, albeit
paralyzed, my feet and hands are powerful weapons against his forces of
darkness.
The Devil is only a fallen angel. He is a deceiver. He is
doomed for destruction. And until then, he has one goal in
mind: your spiritual defeat, emotional malignment, and physical
frustration. If he tries to get you to agree with him today...
don't.
I praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, O Lord.
Blessings,
Joni and Friends
