Do you realize that you have an enemy that knows the areas he can poke and prod you in that will cause you to get off focus and waste time?  For some it is financial lack, or health issues.  For others it may be loneliness, fear, procrastination, people pleasing, pride, lying, lust, greed, jealousy, negativity and hatred.  Whatever your areas, you have to know when and how the enemy (the devil) attacks.

I LOVE sports, especially football.  Maybe it comes from the fact that my dad was a high school and then a college football coach most of my childhood and teen years.  I love how athletes work hard to achieve a goal and every week they get an opportunity to apply what they have learned.  One big part of being a football player is watching hours of football film and learning not only about your own strengths and weaknesses on the field, but that of your opponents also.  If an athlete does not know how their opponent functions, a win may be few to none.  The better prepared you are for a game or battle, the greater your chances of winning. 

The same is true for you and I in this “game” called life!  I encourage you to take the time to look over your life and try to pinpoint areas where it seems like you are walking around in a circle.  Every lesson unlearned is a lesson repeated!  Is there an area in your life where you feel you are in a prison?  Like you can’t break free?  For me, ever since I was a young child, I have felt like I am in a bubble trying to break free.  The bubble for me is lack.  It seems like no matter how hard I work and save and do, I cannot break free financially.  Now that I know this is one of the areas the enemy tries to attack me, my responsibility is to apply Gods word to the situation and not doubt that a change has and will come.

So the take away is simply, take the time to watch the footage of your opponent, the devil, and see how he operates in your life.  Then use Gods word, mixed with faith and action to change the outcome and score.

Be Blessed,
Angela
