The last couple of years have been difficult on my flesh but Yeshua is always faithful.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
-Jesus (John 10:10) emphasis added

The thief is like a large black bird waiting to feed on the carcass. He is Satan, the enemy of God and the Sons of God. That thief and murderer will NOT feel sorry for you when one of his blows causes you an injury. Instead he will throw one blow to get you off balance and then attempt to hit you again before you can recover.

We have already been reconciled to God in Christ. We are not prey for the enemy. Be encouraged. Psalm 8 says…

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon an the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:
all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
