What maketh the man?

Do you ever find that the times when you need the most strength are when you feel you're at your weakest? Or you believe you're doing something great for God and suddenly you're confronted by Satan who tries to steal you away from all of that?

I can definitely resonate with both of these experiences and have found in the past month or so that I have come under attack as I prepare logistically and emotionally for my trip. I don't believe that attack is something to be feared - look how Jesus dealt with temptation from Satan (Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13). The Word of God cuts through Satan's grip if only we remember to utilise its strength. Ephesians 6:17 says "Take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God"

That kind of reminds me of those superhero cartoons - where would they be if they didn't access the powers they had been given to do the work required?

"Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path"
