Five Minute Friday [4] - Before It Begins

As bright as the night

Is the truth in the words that come from your lips

As black absorbs white

Is the good in your actions and in your heart

I don't know why I listen to you sometimes and yet I do
It's like a bad habit I've got to kick
But I struggle to see past the mirages you present as true

And through all the shadows you hide in

But I stand against what you stand for
And I won't let you stay where you're not welcome
I may have fallen for all your tricks before
But this time the finish line lands before its start begins

A/N: I think the devil's favourite move is to lie to us, something I've been realizing more and more lately. So when I sat down today to write my five minutes for this Friday, these words came to me. I've often struggled with the lies the enemies tries to throw at me and I've seen that my Christian family and friends do as well. He is the master of deceit, and the things he tries to tell us can sound so convincing...but we need to continue in steadfast reliance on the Lord, we need to be impermeable to the devil's lies trying to trickle in.

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. / James 4:7, NKJV

I pray you have a day filled with truth and love ♥
