There is something “dangerous” about helping others deal with their struggles. You are going to be attacked. The idea I am dealing with a spiritual matter doesn’t often register for me when I’m dealing with a temptation attack. It is my flesh that’s being attacked and so I immediately address it with flesh telling myself to not go there, etc. It isn’t until I see the different notes on my desk and the other materials I leave lying directly in front that I am reminded to take the spiritual steps: Worship & Warfare Praying. This morning was one of those times. When I took the steps of these two items the temptations left.

These present days have been filled with needs that surpass the typical ones. I had 4 new requests for counsel help come in one day. In each case we are able to help, but the overwhelming sense of being a helper for them wants to consume me. Then this morning my devotional reminds me to stop thinking from my flesh and start trusting my Spiritual Leaders–God Almighty, Jesus Christ & The Holy Spirit. I’m suppose to take the day God gives trusting Him to take care of the need/s and give me His Words when the time is present.

Each morning when I get anchored for the day during my devotions I think, “OK, I’ve got this now”. Then the day continues and by the end of it I need to start all over again. I’m so grateful our God is PATIENT!
