Divide and Conquer

One of the tricks in Satan's bag is the divide and conquer plan.  It's very simple and quite effective. It may start out as something very silly. Such as what recently happened to a friend of mine.  She was trying to get ready for an event and hubby had used all the hot water washing the car! Yes it was irritating, but not worth the blast of emotion just before hosting a party!*

Fortunately the ploy was recognized, apologies were accepted and all went well. It could have turned out so differently.  Satan's plot could have spoiled the whole day and stole the joy from a family gathering! The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. But greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.*





Prayer: Father please help us to recognize the subtle plots of Satan. Let us be quick to apologize and banish him from our joy by the power of Jesus' Name.

 

*Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

*I John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
