Buttons

If I were to list the top things that Satan uses to try to get to me it would look something like this:

1. Money/Car (usually related, but not always)
2. Depression
3. Addiction


Surrounding my recent sobriety birthday he has been pretty busy in my life trying to get me off track.

• In June my car was the victim of a hit and run accident.
• Last week I was deep in the throws of depression.
• And this week I am being tempted by my addiction as I have not been tempted in quite some time.

I don't much care which buttons Satan chooses to push, I'm not falling for it.

Another tactic that he often uses to keep us trapped is silence. If I suffer in silence I suffer alone. If I choose to speak out I gain:

• The prayers and support of other Christ followers
• Accountability
• The promises of God.
