Deter

Do not be deterred. Do not be distracted. Do not lose focus. Distraction is a tactic of the enemy. The distractions may seem small at first. You might cancel an appointment or reschedule a meeting. You might oversleep. You might get stuck in traffic. Don’t be fooled. Keep moving forward one step at a time. There will always be a lot more reasons to give up than to press forward. Focus on the one thing. Streamline. Have tunnel vision. Recognize the trick to deter you.

Aim

Isaiah 54:17  (NKJV) No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment. You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.

We are all walking around with targets on our backs. For some of us we have targets because of our race, our politics, and our religion. We find ourselves in opposition at every corner. We are constantly in the crosshairs of our enemies. I find comfort in knowing that the weapon will not prosper. God never said it wouldn’t be formed. We tend to get frustrated at the formation of the weapons of our destruction. God says, “they won’t prosper.” Keep this in mind, when the enemy takes aim….he will miss. No matter how close the accident. No matter how close the health scare. No matter how low the funds. No matter how crazy the kids are acting. No matter what takes aim at you. It won’t work!
