"Friends, when life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner." (1 Peter 4:12-13)
Don't let the devil or anything and anybody he uses though you off your game. Stay focused. When a boxer gets into the ring he knows and expects that at some point he is going to get hit. When he gets hit, he has been trained to roll with the punch and thereby lessen the impact and damage. Rolling with the punch also puts the fighter in a position to strike back. So, roll and strike saints! Roll and Strike!
PRAYER: Lord, we have no delusion or expectation that life will always be a bed of roses. Help us to be alert at all times and not be thrown off our game when we are attacked. Give us strength to go against what we are up against and roll and strike. Amen.
1 Peter 5:8-10. . . .Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. 9 Keep your guard up. You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. MSG
