Healing Lifestyle - If you know anyone who has had open heart surgery you know that they are learning a new way to live; they are students once again of healthier lifestyle. You will see them walking, everyday. You will spot them in the grocery story carefully selecting their fruits and vegetables, smiling because they have another opportunity make good choices.
For me, part of the 'good choices' I must make each day is to learn what is a 'bad choice' for me. I need to have my heart turned to the on position as I ready myself to do battle with the enemy. Satan knows what words he can say to fill me with doubt or pity. He knows what buttons to push to fill my heart with shame and thereby send me off seeking immediate comfort and relief from the pain. Food used to be the great healer for me. No more!
The days when I get my heart in the right place, when I begin my day with prayer and a special time with God, Satan has a lot more difficulty cornering me. Once I have put on the Armor or God with prayer and the Word I am stronger both spiritually and emotionally, and am able to withstand the normal flaming arrows that will come throughout the day.
Scripture encouragement for today is from Ephesians 6:10-11 "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
