BIBLE MEDITATION:
"Neither give place to the devil." Ephesians 4:27
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Have you ever gotten into an argument with a family member on the way to church? Don't look so pious! Every preacher knows that the devil will try to attack God's children right before church, after church--on the way home in the car! There is a spiritual principle here that we need to learn. It is what I call "the devil after the dove" principle.
Just as when Jesus was baptized and a dove descended, then right after He was led into the wilderness and tempted, so it will be with you. *When God does something great or when you get the approval of God about something, you can expect the attack of the enemy.
ACTION POINT:
Leonard Ravenhill said, "When God opens the windows of heaven to bless us, the devil is going to open the doors of hell to blast us." Have you had a wonderful spiritual experience recently? Then you better not start coasting. If the devil tempted Jesus, be sure he will tempt you as well.
