Dale and I have been going through a spiritual battle in the past four months. Ever since my mother has died the devil has been after us. In one way I am a little proud that the Devil would be after me because it tells me he thinks I am a threat to him. In another way I just wish he would go away. Dale e-mailed one of our good friends Lasana about want has been happening here. Lasana asked Dale what has God been telling us in this time. Dale informed her that God told me to find the Marine in me because we are in a battle. God also has talked to us about prayer. Dale and I have made it a point to pray. We even started a prayer meeting every morning at 8 at church so others in our church could pray. We also read the bible each morning at church. This morning we read Psalm 112
1 Praise the Lord!
How joyful are those who fear the Lord
and delight in obeying his commands.
2 Their children will be successful everywhere;
an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
3 They themselves will be wealthy,
and their good deeds will last forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
5 Good comes to those who lend money generously
and conduct their business fairly.
6 Such people will not be overcome by evil.
Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
7 They do not fear bad news;
they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.
8 They are confident and fearless
and can face their foes triumphantly.
9 They share freely and give generously to those in need.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.
They will have influence and honor.
10 The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
They will grind their teeth in anger;
they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.
It reminds us that we are not gone to be judge by what others do. We only has to worry about we do and how we live our lives. Are we living and doing the things that God want us to do?
