“How do we survive the devil’s attacks? We have to work with the tools that God gave us and do so with a Godly attitude.” – #ToddCPittman
Yep, I Said It!
…and so did Ephesians 6:7 (NLT) – Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
“I participated in a streaming Bible Study last night led by Pastor Ken Harper, Senior Pastor at Channel of Grace in Edgewood, MD, and the concept of ‘Prophetic Work’ he spoke to resonated with me this morning as I took in scriptures from Ephesians. Look, the devil attacks in many ways and although we are protected by God’s loving arms that doesn’t mean we can sit back and do nothing. Nah man, we have work to do! Whether we are battling a situation at work, fighting attacks to break-up our marriages or families, struggling with the bottle or the pills, or even COVID-19, whatever the situation we’ve got to work through it with a Godly attitude. We’re equipped man, God gave us the tools and instructions to do our part. When we work through our circumstances with obedience and patience and a whole lot of sincerity and good intentions, then my friend we are working the tools given to us to survive the attacks of the devil. Contrary to the belief of some – things won’t just magically disappear or change along with the temperature, but whatever the challenge IT’S TEMPORARY, SO LET’S WORK THROUGH IT AND GROW THROUGH IT WITH A GODLY ATTITUDE!” – #ToddCPittman

GM Todd. Thank you for your message. I appreciated your writing, and particularly your observation that things won’t just change with the temperature. At the risk of sounding political, some of our national leaders gambled incorrectly early on that the Coronavirus pandemic would just dissipate as the temperatures rose. Sadly, that reckless assumption cost many American lives and millions of American jobs. Thank you for the reminder that being responsibly proactive is always better than passively ‘waiting things out’. God gives us wisdom. We should use it.
