I want to talk today about the way Satan fights to have us on his side.
You hear lots of stories about the advisary working hard on us, for example someone may be getting ready to go to the temple but they get a flat tire, then the road is closed and they cant get there on time for their session.
Its happened to me, and I bet have or know someone with similar experiences.
Satan wants to win us over, he wants us down on ourselves, frustrated, mad, confused, depressed, anxious, tired... the list goes on and on.
And its so easy these days to find something that will bring us down.. perhaps you see a commercial that is inappropriate, or your favorite show is getting more gruesome or dirty then you would like. Maybe someone cuts you off driving and you say something inappropriate or you feel so depressed that you feel suicidal.
These things happen to me.
We can focus on them... or we can CHOOSE to look for the good.
Maybe instead of watching the TV we can listen to a MO-Tab CD, or scriptures on tape. Maybe we can google LDS Quotes! Maybe instead of that romance novel at Barnes and Noble you can get one at Deseret Book instead...or any book by a Christian writer.
Go on a walk..on the temple grounds if you want. Call a friend that will bring you up. Be there for someone in need...service.
There are so many things that can bring us up you see!!! Choose the right.
The thing I think that will bring anyone up that is feeling down is service. You don't have to have lots of time, or spend money... just being there to some is enough. A phone call...a letter sent.
Artwork keeps me sane... what about you? Share in the comments about what you can do that will bring you up so we can have more ideas!
Love you all!!!
