Satan stood up against Israel and stirred up David to number Israel. ! Chronicles 21:1
Satan loves to stir things up! He stirs up old painful memories of your failure so that you feel useless. He loves to stir up trouble between friends to cause arguements and gossip. Another of his old favourites is to stir things up in families and cause misunderstandings and small issues to become out of proportion.
This is so opposite to the Prince of Peace. He loves to bring peace to stirred up situations. He loves to heal those memories that hurt and bring shame, he loves to mend relationships so that everyone can live in harmony and he loves it when families are in such an understanding of each other that there is nothing but security and happiness.
So don’t let the bad guy get into your life to stir you up to do bad stuff. Don’t dwell on those thoughts that might make you bitter or resentful. Those memories that would take away your confidence and happiness. Don’t let words out of your mouth that stir or create confusion as you are helping Satans mission.
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
