The Devil Made You Do It...not

Most of us have heard of the old line about "the Devil made me do it". Don't think so! Does Satan and his minions try to drive us nuts with intrusive thoughts? Yes, they can try and they do a good job too. But it is up to us if we accept these thoughts and think on them or shut the door to them. It may mean you have to shut the proverbial door to these intrusive thoughts like a million times a day, ( I'm exaggerating, but not really) but the devil cannot make us do anything, he can only try to entice. He is smart, but He is not God and never will be. Remember, Satan can imitate but never create. You have the power to shut the door to these thoughts, it is just hard. Really, really hard, but you can do it and the more you do it, the easier it becomes. Just try for one day and go from there.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, His good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2
