Your Lamp and Compass

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
- Psalms 119:105

Life can get hectic at times. Things seem to blend into one another and before you realize it, a month has gone by and you have not spent time with the Lord.

The devil tries to get us sidetracked with things that are not as important as communing with God. Why does he do this? Because he knows that each time you pick up your Bible, you hold in your hands the answer to divorce, racism, poverty, sorrow, rebellion, demonic captivity and death.

He knows that if you understand what is written in that book you will walk with power and dominion and put his demons to flight.

It is easier for him to block or bind up your blessings when you do not know your Word, your rights or know God’s provisions for you. But when you know what Christ provided for you…when you know what is contained in that life-giving book…when you know and walk in it, the devil not only gets mad but he gets scared.

Take time to read your Bible daily and turn the tables on your adversary—put him to flight.
