The Adversary Saps Your Strength

Scripture Amos 3:11 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
“An adversary shall be all around the land;
He shall sap your strength from you,
And your palaces shall be plundered.”

Observation: Our adversary is the devil and he is doing his job well. I do feel as if my strength is gone from me at times, but when I do God’s will it returns. Each day I go to the beach and pray for others as God wills and that brings me joy and recharges me, but when my thoughts go back to this world, I get so tired and it’s hard to go on.

Application: I need to be focused on God and not the things of this world. It’s difficult because I’m constantly bombarded with conflicting information and almost all of it is discouraging. My Lord gives me the option to be focused on Him and His word and to fulfill the purpose He has created me for and I need to give Him my full attention.

Prayer Dear Lord please command me to do what You desire of me. My nature is to worry and be focused on the negative things in this world and I need your help to keep me on the path you have chosen for me. I love you and what to finish this race in the way that pleases You.
