I have been utterly amazed at the pointed accuracy this 90-day book/journal has been in hitting the world of temptation we (I) encounter. I met yesterday morning with one of the two small groups to check-in and see how they are doing staying sober? Every one of the four is finding stability during this time. I have found each day’s entry to not only be encouraging, but it is also extremely accurate to the day’s encounter. Today’s message reminds me that Satan knows my weakness/vulnerability and when I am tired mentally and or physically I am most vulnerable. The reminder that I can at that time accommodate my temptation or I can let Christ and The Holy Spirit within me be what Satan sees within me. I always hear that voice of intuition in my head asking the question, “Is this something you really want to do?” My response can always be–“NO” and then turn my back to the temptation.

I think we all know that the above message seems so simple and logical. Yet, when one encounters the temptation, making the decision is often a genuine struggle. Yes, this is our selfish flesh screaming for accommodation, but I encourage anyone reading to join me in taking the step just for today that lets Christ and The Holy Spirit be what Satan sees in you. Tomorrow we can do it again, but for today, lets remain sober using God’s Gift to us.
