Growing up, I always loved the promise that there will be a day when Satan will be bound, powerless and unable to tempt me. Today I realize that I don't have to wait for the millennium to have that promise realized, he can be powerless now. Some days he is powerless, because of where I am mentally and spiritually and other days he is successful at bringing me down. With his deceiving and cunning ways, I am persuaded to fall into his traps.
He has power to bruise my heel, but I have power to crush his head! I am given that power by God. Through following His commandments and His promptings every time they come, I am living in God's power. Satan wants me to feel shame when I mess up and even sometimes when I don't mess up. But my testimony that God loves me without condition and forgives my repentant heart, brings me out of shame and fills my heart with hope and peace.
