James 4:7
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

God has a plan a purpose for your life. Yes. You. It's not just Billy Graham or Rick Warren that are meant to have an impact on this world. It's you too! But, that impact, that purpose, that plan, that God has for you has opposition. We have an enemy and he is willing to stop at nothing to keep us from fulfilling God's plan for our lives. He wants to wound you. He wants to put you on spiritual profile so that you will not be as effective, or at all effective, for God. The best way to take out the most enemies is to wound as many as possible. He would love to see you in hell with him but, why do that quickly when he can wound you and watch as you spread poison and hurt to those around you. Why not just allow you to distract those who feel the need to help you from their path and mission? Our enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But, you have with you the power to overcome him. You just have to be willing to submit to God's plan for your life, resist evil, and then the devil will flee. But, are you willing to lay aside your plan for his? Or are you convinced that you have it all put together? The most depressed people I know are the ones who have "accomplished" what they thought they wanted for their life. But, they're walking wounded. Are you on spiritual profile today? Is the devil running from you or are you hiding from him?
