Fat Man part 2

A while back I wrote about the return of what I called "The Fat Man" http://1ncisfan.blogspot.com/2010/04/return-of-fat-man.html....

What I neglected to write about is the thing that is the most important item against neglect and that is I have to fight against him every day. Every war that we have as believers is a daily battle because the one behind neglect does not sleep at all, take a day off, or retreat at all.

So often we start to make progress, then think that we have the battle won. That is the most dangerous time, we get suckered into thinking that we have won a once-for-all time victory and then the enemy changes tactics and decides to go on a different path and we find ourselves right back to where we started and get frustrated. And that frustration is either taken out on ourselves (oh how many times have I done that!) or on others (if you wouldn't have distracted me, or given me wrong advice, etc....) or (incorrectly) on God.

The reason I put "incorrectly" is very simple, God has given us keys on how to defeat the enemy....but we either mix it with our own advice, ignore it altogether (thinking that the way to defeat the enemy is to accommodate it), or think of it as a "quick-fix" solution (try it once and then forget about it).

The way to achieve victory is to apply the keys that God has given us on a daily basis and to do it the way He told us to. Can you imagine what would have happened to me in the hospital had the doctors not treated me on a daily basis and the way that the treatment was supposed to go? I would have either ended up in worse shape or at San Fernando Cemetery being part of the groundwork there....That is why we as believers need to do what God has called us to do in the way He has called us to do it on a daily basis so that we don't end up in worse shape or dead to God being of no use to Him.....
