Holes
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour…1 Peter 5:8
I love Bok Choy; it is one of my favorite vegetables, so I planted some in my garden. I usually go out every morning and do a quick pass by the garden to ensure everything is doing well and nothing has happened overnight. But because we had been traveling weekly, I got out of the habit of checking every morning. One morning, I went out to check on things and noticed holes in my Bok Choy leaves.
I was not happy, but I knew it meant I needed to spray because pests had started their attack.
Since it was early in the morning, I knew I couldn’t spray until that evening. Unfortunately, I forgot to spray that evening, and the next time I checked, some of the leaves had been completely chewed off. I was so upset, but I heard the Holy Spirit say, “This is what happens when you miss your time with Me.” I was like, What did You just say?
Listen, when we stop feeding ourselves with the Word, we may not notice anything at the beginning. The holes are so small that they don’t seem to impact us. A few days might go by without us realizing what is happening. But in the background, Satan is setting us up for a fall! He is constantly trying to keep us distracted so he can take us down. When we get out of our routine of study, we open the door for Satan. He is a strategist—always plotting and looking for someone to devour.
It is imperative that you have a daily quiet time with God! I don’t care if it’s just fifteen minutes—get it! You may say, “I don’t have time.” When you eat lunch, instead of working or talking to others, spend your lunch break with God. Or during your drive to work, play a Word that ministers to you. If you go to the gym, listen to the Word while you’re working out. Ask God, and He will show you the best time for you to spend with Him. You have an enemy who is always working to take you out, and you must consistently get into God’s presence to defeat him!
Key Points:
Being consistent with your time with God is invaluable.
There is an enemy you cannot see who is constantly plotting against you.
Time with God provides the armor you need to conquer your enemy.
