Fighting flies with a swordRom. 5: 6
WHILE WE WERE YET WITHOUT STRENGTH [weak and powerless to help ourselves],
IN DUE TIME [at the right time] CHRIST DIES for [in behalf of] the ungodly.

WHILE WE WERE YET WITHOUT STRENGTH [weak and powerless to help ourselves],
IN DUE TIME [at the right time] CHRIST DIES for [in behalf of] the ungodly.

Pray the Word:
Lord, even after the time we gave our lives to You, there have been occurrences when we have experienced Satan smothering our mind with hideous thoughts of doubt and unbelief in You and in ourselves – in an effort to STRIP US OF OUR STRENGTH by telling us that we must still be ‘ungodly’ and Christ died in vain. These hideous thoughts are not our own, but are injections of the devil, for which he is responsible, and not us. Fighting against these accusations by trying to master our own thoughts when they are set on by the devil is like trying to FIGHT A SWARM OF FLIES WITH A SWORD. So . . . . help us in the times when we’re without strength [weak and powerless to help ourselves], to cast the anchor of our faith in You - Who sees through the devil’s lies and sees us held by the nail-scarred hands of Your Holy Son.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
