Page 35-I saw a beautiful Bible case and I wanted it bad. I showed it to the person I was with because I knew they would steal it for me. The person told me to put a Bible in the case. The enemy within kept telling me that this would be justified because God’s Word should not be for sell.
And I begin to repeat this to myself. I even said it to the person I was with: “God’s Word shouldn’t be for sell anyway.”
I carried the Bible in the case around the store the entire time. God gently reminded me that even though His Word should not be sold, that it wasn’t my place/position to fight that battle by doing something that is against His Will for my life.
God Word says: “if you love me, you will keep my commandments.” John 14:15 and God know I love Him, with all my heart, soul and mind Matthew 22:37.
So by the time we made it to the check out register, God gently instructed me to put the case and Bible down at the register. I obeyed. And I rejoiced, prayed and gave thanks to God for everything 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 but the enemy just kept coming; my mind/flesh kept wanting but God reminded me to be patient and what’s for me is for me.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matthew 6:13
