The Enemy Wants Me to Hide—But I Choose to Stand

The enemy wants me to cower from his attacks. He wants me to cry and hide and be so afraid of him and his power. Satan can seem pretty scary at times. He can cause my flesh to tremble and fear to come upon me.

But when I take those fears to my Lord, He can show me how to overcome each one. I will not live in fear or as a victim of my circumstances.

While we can’t help what happens, we can decide how to react.

My God is powerful. Satan has NEVER defeated my God. Therefore, when I feel troubled or afraid, I run to God. He is my safe place and my comfort. He can help me overcome every attack from the enemy.

Life has felt so incredibly hard for me lately. I don’t get completely through one thing before something else happens. My flesh wants to crawl into bed, pull up the covers, and hide. But an inner part of me wants to keep going, and fight through each attack until God blesses me.

I know the blessing is coming, so I keep praying and trusting God to do what is best for me. I know God will fight for me. I know He will do what is best for me. I know that it all works for my good. I trust my Lord.

One day, I will reflect on all of this with a powerful testimony of God’s goodness and deliverance. And I will be so thankful for the trial that brought me the blessing.
