Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.—John 16:20 (NIV)
Satan seem to always be at our sides fueling our self-pity, pointing out our shortcomings, reminding us of past mistakes, and painting a rather dismal and hopeless picture of our futures. We ask him to leave several times, but he just wouldn't go,...at least not for long. But if we can just regain our focus, and call out the name of Jesus,...the devil has got to flea,...because our souls are simply not big enough for the both of them. And as you know,...only the invited, can truly stay.
"God desires that we turn our attention from our circumstances to Him.
When our eyes are upon Him, our crisis seems so small."
(The Man God Uses, Henry & Tom Blackaby, p. 98)

Lord, when life gets us down, help us to turn our self-pity into a glorious praise. In Jesus' name. Amen.
" Without the Spirit of God we can do nothing.
We are as ships without wind or chariots without steeds.,...we are useless."
