Errors

Ever notice that little yellow sign that pops up on your computer that says, "Error"? Then you sit trying to understand what caused it. If you don't pay attention and try to fix the problem it could cause more damage. If it is a virus it can wipe out the whole hard drive.
My point is:
I have been learning a lot about the errors we sometimes have occur within us. Errors are like a thought pattern that in turn causes us to sin. So would that not make it that the error is Satan? Satan can put thoughts into our heads that cause us to sin and then when we don't ask for forgiveness or if we ignore that little error sign, it just makes him more powerful. Satan will keep giving us those errors until he causes us to crash and his virus takes over our hard drive. The closer we get to God the more satan pushes. He doesn't want you close to God because then he loses all the control. Satan hates it that the closer we get to God the more we love God with all our souls and banish satan from our thoughts. Satan would have to admit defeat. The errors will keep playing on you more and more until you get too preoccupied with them to care. Thus causing us to crash.
Time to start re-booting. Time to start with a new hard drive. The new hard drive that we are starting with is one where we let God be the programmer. God is like the best anti-virus protection you can get. He will cause those error signs to pop up when needed. Sometimes He might throw them in your face. No matter what may cause the error when we ask for forgiveness Jesus signs His name over it in His blood. The main step is to make sure we pay attention to those little signs that we are given. When we accept God as the programmer of our new hard drive we will succeed.
There will be times that we may need to yell, "Satan get thee behind me". We may need to cry. We may need to stomp our feet, but God will keep the programming going. He will keep updating the virus definitions. (How can you tell I just recently did a virus scan??) With God's help we can rid Satan of the power that he tries to posses over us.
So, the new system has begun it's programming. God is love. God is good. God is forgiving and gracious. Some of the main things that will be the base of the new hard drive. The wiring may feel like it is getting fried once in a while but God id there to help put out the fire. As difficult as it is to start reprogramming your mind and getting rid of your old thought patterns it will be well worth it. It will bring us closer to God and cause our souls to become more complete in Him.
So here I sit letting God continue His work, trusting that He will be the ultimate support system. He will protect me and give me the warnings. I just need to pay attention to them.
I, Misty, am strong in the Lord.
