Collusion or Collision?
July 16, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” Romans 8:16
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
A farmer and his farmhand went duck hunting. The farmer said to his friend, “You’re always talking about fighting with the devil. I’m not a Christian, and I never have to fight with the devil.”
The farmhand answered, “Boss, if you and I shot two ducks, one was wounded and one was dead, which one would you go after first?”
The farmer said, “Well, I guess the wounded duck.”
“That’s right. The devil knows you’re a dead duck.”
If the devil doesn’t bother you, it’s because he doesn’t have to bother you since you and he are traveling in the same direction. If you turned around, you’d have a collision with him. Right now, you are in collusion with him.
ACTION POINT:
Are you a child of God? Then praise Him that He has given you the power over Satan and placed you on the pathway to see Him face to face!

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
