Shrewd as Snakes/Innocent as Doves

2:00a, I’ve been up for an hour already. Jetlagged? Still? No, because I would stay up all day and fall asleep exhausted by 9:00/10:00p. it has been like this for the past 3 nights. Sleep for 4 hours, wake up still tired but cannot go back to sleep. Actually, it has been like this for the past month. I’m worried. I know this is taking a toll on my body.

I also know that this is a form of spiritual warfare. Satan is trying to strip away my energy and strength. Trying to destroy my body.

Matthew 10 “28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”



Go ahead and try to destroy my body. You cannot touch my soul for it belongs to my Father. And God loves me so much more than this little sparrow in Kowloon Park. If you want to play, if you keep me awake I will spent this time praying and dwelling in God's word.

Matthew 10 “16I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”

Bring it on, Satan. With the Triune God playing on my side I’ll play hardball with you any day.
