I'm working this week on what I thought would be the most straightforward of the messages on "Satan's plan for your life" -- this one is "he wants you in a spiritual coma" from 2 Corinthians 11:1-3 (And now I'm afraid that exactly as the Snake seduced Eve with his smooth patter, you are being lured away from the simple purity of your love for Christ.); so far it's not so straightforward! But I was encouraged and challenged by a good and strong word from C.S. Lewis; he wrote,
"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible." C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
