August 7

Today I had to work a little – be quiet before Him – wait for a Word. Nothing stood out in this short day of reading. Then it came to me, in pain it came to me. God gives us His Word, and there are some who would try to burn it up. They tear it piece by piece until it is all burned in the fire. We have to be on guard and watch out for the stealers of God’s Word from our hearts.

I not only experience people who triy to take or mitigate God’s Word in my heart, but I most often experience “thought bombs” from the enemy designed to rob me of God’s Word. Sometime I feel like people are working with the enemy, but either way the scheme is to get me to doubt and to be pre-occupied with the “other” thoughts that have bombed into my mind. I have got to put God’s Word on my mind all the more when the enemy comes in and tries to distract and discourage me. I am in the middle of that right now, but now this word has come to me – put My Word on your lips! Even when someone burns God’s Word, He will write it again on our minds and hearts.
