Prayers Changes Things
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1Peter 5:8KJV
Here is a story; My dad was a teaser. All my childohood foibles were fodder for his jest. I wanted ammunition of my own. I went to my grandmother and asked, "Tell me something my dad did as a kid." She laughted and told a story.
They lived on a farm, where, among other things, they planted corn by hand. Dad got tired of planting one day, but still had seed left. He dumped it all in a hole at the edge of the field, went to the house, and declared he was done! In a few weeks his indiscretion was visble to everyone. He got a whoopin' for that one. finally, I had something on him, I thought.
Satan, the enemy of our soul, is looking for ammuniton to use against us, too. His goal is not to tease, but to Steal, Kill, and Destroy (John 10:10). But through vigilance and repentance, his accusations are meaningless. (by SRC page 218 "A Cup Comfort Devotional")
