Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them (Psalms 139:16 NKJV). Living can be a chore some days. When we press through heartache, loss, and endless routine, we may forget how meaningful our lives are. Our Creator skillfully knitted us in the framework of our mother’s womb. He gave us a unique soul to touch humanity. The trace of our fingertips is like no else. He planned out our days before there was one of them. Our books stored in heaven contain our life’s blueprint. Socialism preaches that no one is special. Everyone should be the same. Any notions of a loving God who created you
Our reconciling “Peace” is Jesus! He has… broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us…. 15 Ethnic hatred has been dissolved by the crucifixion of his precious body on the cross (Ephesians 2:14-15 TPT). I remember well when President Regan made his now-famous speech in Berlin announcing to the world, "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." A year after that speech, I moved to Germany and was present when the wall collapsed. What a glorious day was October 3, 1990, when the country reunified.

If you give him a foothold, he barges in to take everything. He is a territorial monster that goes after your family, finances, health, and God-ordained purpose for being. Unrestrained anger in your heart
Fill your thoughts with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. Then, as you unwrap my words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being (Proverbs 4:21-22). The sword of the Spirit is the word of God. It is your go-to weapon to uproot any lie sown into your heart by the devil. It can dig out the poisonous dart that wounded and soured your self-perception. Absorb yourself in God’s word, and it will displace any toxic thought you have of God, yourself, and others. When life throws you a curveball, you are most vulnerable to the devil’s attacks. You must not be ignorant of his devices. He is looking for a way to implant seeds of doubt and self-
