A Day Of Possibilities

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.Philippians 4:8

It was one of those days. I had allowed Satan to get me in a funk big time. I was having trouble controlling my mind too and what usually snaps me out of it is going to exercise and having an iced latte. 

So as I got to the YMCA wearing my ‘Pray First’ shirt from my former awesome church,  Church of the Highlands.  I had four cool smiley encounters, make that five if I can count lady I said hi to in parking lot who smiled and said hi back. 

I chatted with three people waiting on equipment and one girl Olivia new from Portland, Oregon, on the rowing machine, trying to emulate ‘Boys in the Boat’ movie. Then I ran into a man with a Clemson shirt on who I spoke to and finally a girl from my church. Needless to say I kicked the devil in his fanny because I was now filled with joy and the junk I had allowed to weigh me down was gone. How are you doing today? Time to tell Satan you won’t let him toy with you? 

PRAYER: Help me break Satan’s chokehold on my thinking Lord. He me be still. Help me encounter people more and my cell phone less. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
