Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     Rebellion never sees itself.
     It only know it has been challenged and it wants to rise up and defeat whatever it 
thinks is in its way.
     It is never sighted.
     It is always foolish and always visible to others.
     Rebellion is always expressed by the tongue.
     Rebellion can manifest itself as a punch in the nose, or as cutting remarks, or as 
manipulation.
     It is a cancer of the soul.  That is why God has said ". . .rebellion is as witchcraft. . ."
     It throws open the door for the enemy and his host of accusers and 
trouble-makers.
     Soldier of the Cross,  the only other choice is submission.
     Thorough and immediate, humble, genuine submission.  
      We know nothing and are fools bumping into walls, without His Wisdom.
      He cares, and He sees and knows all things.
      How foolish to attempt to counsel God.  He said we should trust Him, so trust Him 
we must.
      Rebellion is desperate for control.  There is no more ungodly position in existence
nor is there anything else more blinding.
      Soldier, come before Him.  Whatever the situation is, tell Him (outloud) that 
regardless of his Plan, you will follow hard after Him and submit, no matter what. This
is particularly critical as a daily exercise in difficult marriages.
      Don't be foolish.
      Or blind.
      Don't be a pawn of Satan.
     Trust The One with Nail-scarred Hands.  He is Perfect.
     You are not.
