Little Sips

The son wondered how it would be if because of press of business or illness he could not go out early in the morning to gather his portion.

His Father understood, and He caused him to know that if the business concerned the Kingdom, or if illness or any such real hindrance interrupted, he should be at rest.  Only he was warned to be careful lest the interruption should slide into a custom.  He was not meant to be easy with himself.

But he was reminded that the living water was never out of reach.  If he had not time to drink long in the morning, he could take little sips now and then through the day from the Brook that is always flowing in the way.

    “Strongholds of Satan
    Within my heart
    By renewing my mind
    Must now depart

    No longer there
    May Satan reign
    My heart God can transform
    And Satan chain

    Lord, guard my heart
    And mind from deceit
    Discipline self
    Satan RETREAT!

    Replace my thoughts
    With things that pleaseYou
    And put on the ‘New Man’
    My mind renew. ”

    This poem was written by my older sister so it is not from a book.
    She just recently posted it on our blog, and I was really challenged by it to cry out to God for strength to win the victory over Satan when I am tempted, instead of surrendering, and letting him creep into my heart and mind.
