In
the journey of life we need first, to know our enemy. Some of our most
dangerous enemies we carry within are our: laziness, fear of discomfort, pride,
oversensitivity to what others think of us and so on and so forth. But Satan is
our greatest enemy and therefore, we “should not be ignorant of his designs,” St. Paul
In
the journey of life, don't fight alone; ask the help of the Holy Spirit. Pride
easily dominates our thinking. We are shocked by the sins of others and yet we
are blind to our own weaknesses. So we need the gifts of the Holy Spirit to
equip ourselves against anything that is evil, to depend on Him to overcome the
Evil One and make the right decisions.
In
the journey of life, been short as it is, we need to be quick to put right a
wrong relationship. Hurting others and feeling hurt ourselves cannot be
avoided. That is why Jesus teaches us that there is a need to forgive others
not only seven times but seventy times seven. It is because, like for example
our anger, if we let our anger to continue even if the sun goes down already,
we may be sleepless; depressed and irritable in the following morning; and will
give the devil an opportunity to exploit our anger. So let us be quick to put
it right.
Wishing
you a day full of peace in spirit, busy but not rushed and alert but not tense.
