Okay I just had to post this because it just confirms the devils work. Obviously from my “Smoking” post, I’m trying to quit smoking. I have to admit…it’s HARD…but then I didn’t think it’d be easy. I did smoke three cigarettes yesterday. However, I’m trying to remain positive about that instead of letting it discourage me. My positive thought is…3 is better than the pack and a half (30+) that I was smoking. When I’m at work it’s easy not to think about smoking or want a cigarette because either I’m busy or just too lazy to go through the motions of going to smoke, so being at work is a good thing. Well I get to work this morning and I open my email and I have, not one, but TEN emails titled “FREE CIGARETTES”. Okay, so I delete all of those, no big deal. Well since 7:00 this morning EVERY time I check my email I have another one of those emails saying EXACTLY the same thing…”FREE CIGARETTES”. Is that not the devil or what? I mean I know you get junk emails everyday and sometimes you get the same email more than once, but the emails are there EVERY TIME I check my email!! I don’t think I”ve ever gotten this particular junk email either, if I have I’ve never paid it any attention. And of course it’s doing exactly what the devil means for them to do which is making me want to smoke and think about cigarettes while I’m at work which I don’t normally do. So you see…the devil knows where to attack me. What he doesn’t know…is that I’m more determined NOT to smoke today because he’s being SO obvious! So, I’m doing alot of praying today for the strength to overcome the urges. So far…so good!
I’m finding KLOVE’s encouraging words for today very helpful today!
Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting Him…Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise.
–Hebrews 10:22-25
