Needed: Spiritual Vaccine for Our Children

[S] 2 Corinthians 11:14 --
14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

[O] This is a clear warning to watch out for deceptions of Satan in this world we live in because it is very real.  One thing after another, the master of deception is eating away the freedom we have in Christ by twisting the truths to make us believe it is harmful to us.  This is very sad and yet as Paul pointed out, something we cannot avoid and we must be awake at all times to separate God's truth from the deceived truths in this world.

[A] It seems every year, the degree of confusion get worse and worse which means our children's generation is going to have a very difficult time distinguishing what is from God vs. from Satan (the disguised angel of light).  Since I cannot possibly immunize my children completely against such virus, I need to totally rely on the Holy Spirit to protect and lead my children so they'll know how to stand up for THE TRUTH in the midst of the storm of confusion.  I need to pray for each of my children daily so that their spirit will be sharpened toward God.

[P] Dear Jesus, would you warp Your Spirit around my children at all times so that they would always be fully aware of Your truth in their hearts?  May their time at home with the family be the equipping ground to recognize Your voice so when they are on their own, they would simply continue to do what they were doing at home to bring glory to Your name.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

Accusers are Standing Very Close To You

[S] Zechariah 3:1 --
1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

[O] No matter how much God's power is at work, Satan never rests to take cheap shots at us to discourage us.  Here we see how Satan standing next to Joshua accusing him of wearing the filthy clothes so he won't be available to receive God's grace of replacing that clothes with fine new clothes.  So many times, Satan reminds me of how unfit I am to do anything for God.  While that is a true statement, God is not going to leave me in that state but to renew me by His saving grace so that I may be more than worth to carry out His plans here on earth.

[A] Continue to dig into God's grace whenever I hear the voice of Satan accusing me of how unworthy I am.

[P] Dear Father, I'm so grateful for making me worthy to become Your son and to do your will here on earth.  May You always be praised through my life.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
