Surprise is one of the devil\u2019s favourite weapons, so here are four winning strategies you can use when you\u2019re under attack: <\/p>\n<p>1)<i> Don\u2019t panic.<\/i> Live by the Scripture, <i>\u2018Be still, and know that I am God\u2019<\/i> (Psalm\u00a046:10\u00a0KJV). That means God is present, fully aware of your situation, and has a solution. Just be sensitive and responsive to the voice of His Spirit within you (see\u00a0John\u00a016:13). Remember, time is on your side. Patience is a weapon that forces truth and motives to the surface. <\/p>\n<p>2)<i> Analyse it.<\/i> Solomon said, <i>\u2018In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider\u2019<\/i> (Ecclesiastes\u00a07:14\u00a0KJV). Sometimes what looks like a crisis is just concentrated information. And when you take time to analyse it, you benefit from it. <\/p>\n<p>3)<i> Seek advice. \u2018Without guidance, a people will fall, but with many counsellors there is deliverance.\u2019<\/i> (Proverbs\u00a011:14\u00a0CSB). Ignorance is your enemy and instruction is your friend. Somebody somewhere knows something you need to know; something that can help you survive and even succeed during this painful chapter in your life. Reach for them. <\/p>\n<p>4)<i> Expect God to move. \u2018When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.<\/i>\u2019 Adversity is often the Enemy\u2019s reaction to your progress. <\/p>\n<p>Rejoice; your heavenly Father\u2019s eyes are on you today. He is pleased with you, and He is going to bring you through this victoriously.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lifefmki.org\/soulfood\/\">SoulFood<\/a>: 1 Sam 4-7, Luke 3:11-20, Ps 59:9-17, Pro 16:23-26<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"color: #41423d; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 18px;\">The Word for Today<\/em><span style=\"color: #41423d; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 18px;\"> is authored by Bob and Debby Gass and published under licence from UCB International Copyright \u00a9<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.\u2019 Isaiah 5\u00a09:19\u00a0KJV Your biggest mistakes often occur in the early stage of a trial because it catches you off guard.
