Life's mountains and valleys Part 2

God be with you all!

I have to tell you, I posted this morning, in brief about how Satan tries anything to trip believers up. Well, let me tell you, I saw him at work today!
I was having a great day at work. The people I work with are extremely offensive to a Christian. I was a foul mouthed unrepentent sinner just like them once, so I can understand them a little bit. When I was first saved, I would get all upset at these guys for their foul mouth and harrassment of me. I used to get right in their face about their wicked ways. All that did was make them agry at me, and alienate me from them.
Now, I use the lead by example approach. I try to show them the love of Christ through my behavior and my kindness to them. This is not always easy. I sometimes fall by the wayside and don't do the Christian thing. I end up getting sarcastic with them and kind of mean sometimes. I have been working on that though. I am a work in progress.
Today was a great morning for me at work. I was showering all my workmates with the love of Jesus. Satan was definitely losing the battle today, until I talked with my wife at 9:30 break. Satan was using the kids, especially our oldest, to eat at me by acting up on my wife at home. It reminded me of the night of my acceptance of Christ as my Savior. Chip Ingram was reading from the book of Job(Jobe for those of you who didn't know...I didn't at one time) and telling of all these much more terrible things to Job and his family. I thought to myself then, I can relate to this, and I thought today, I can still relate to this, because no matter how knowledgeable I get, or strong in faith I am, Satan will always be there, trying to get to me and my family.
We as Christians have already won! Jesus has already paid for our sins. But Satan is a sore loser. As I try to show people through example, or reading of the Word, the path to salvation, Satan will always be there trying to make me as ineffective as possible. I don't know who is in the Lamb's Book of Life, neither does Satan, so we are in a struggle to win people, a tug of war as it were. Myself, as well as ALL believers need to just keep on our toes and show the love of Christ to everyone! We must, because Satan is showing the easy way to eternal death. I am determined to keep up the fight, are you?
