loving God's ways #2 (matthew 4:8-10)

anger
&
hatred are bad
companions
to clear thinking.
the evil one has been angry
for a long time.

that day
in the desert, his anger
burned
hot.

You saw through each
deception
&
hung onto Your Abba's every
word.

he was outclassed
&
he knew it.

"fall down," he demanded,
"worship me...and all power will be
Yours!"

"get out, satan!"
"YaHWeH alone is to be worshiped."

the tempter left.
defeated.

loving YaHWeH
above all else
is the only defense that
will kill each
&
every plan of the devil.

love worships.
love wins.

I followed you from your daughter, Sarah's blog. I've just recently found her and am reading along with her story. I have a tender place in my heart for what she is writing about. I've lived through it with others in my life.... I love seeing the way you and your wife loved Sarah through this... such a beautiful picture of the Papa heart of God.

I've truly enjoyed my visit here today and reading your words. Your words here are beautiful... I loved this!

I also loved your description on your profile... "Just an old guy"..... I guess I would say about myself, "Just an old gal learning to live in the embrace of God."....

I've enjoyed my visit here. Would love to have you stop by my blog anytime and visit. I enjoy meeting new people.

Have a blessed day!
Julie
