Are you giving the Devil Tooo much credit?

I've been doing a lot of reading lately and in my studies, I've come across this on more than one occasion.
In life are we giving the Devil (The Enemy) too much credit?
Are you the type of person that every time something goes wrong, you blame it on the Devil.
You know exactly what I'm talking about, your friends and family are hating (as usual), your kids acting up, your relationship falling apart....."that ain't nothing but the devil"
I can honestly sayi have been guilty of this.
But on this day I want to express a new way of thinking.
I read last night in Tyrese Gibson's book How To Get Out Of Your Own Way
That we need to stop giving the Devil credit when things go wrong. Every time we acknowledge his activity it's like giving him praise! And who wants to praise that Dude seriously! Before reading this my understanding of the matter was, No every time something goes wrong it isn't the Devil and it doesn't mean that the world is out to get me. There are times in our lives when we are being tested and things must fall apart to be built back up on a better foundation. And of course the way we respond and handle the obstacle is in turn how we will grow and learn and be blessed form it.
I always keep in mind that "He Brings us to it to bring us thru it" and "We Grow thru what We Go thru"!

Let's stop giving the devil credit! Stop giving him praise for his being busy! Act like summers over and fall back Devil! You have no authority here!
I'm not saying to forget that he's out there to Kill steal and destroy. But lets acknowledge him less.
And in doing so our Praise for the most high will grow all the more.

I'm at a point where I have realized, I'm grateful for the test. Because with test comes promotion.

Are you a Thermometer or a Thermostat?

Are you a Thermometer or a Thermostat? Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking."Romans 12:2 TM Don't be a thermometer, be a thermostat. Thermometers just reflect the climate around them - thermostats set it. Actually, they lift it! Most of us are like thermometers reflecting the culture around us. We buy things others buy, say things others say, wear things others wear, and value things others value. Oh, there are slight variations, but most of the time we don't set the climate for the world we live in; we simply adjust to it. But not overcomers! No, they take life to the next level. They become thermostats and change the environment in which they're placed. For instance, you may know people who raise the Spiritual temperature of a group or determine the attitudes of others just by being present. They're pacesetters. They influence, rather than merely allowing others to influence them. Paul's challenge to ...

The Lost Tribe Of REAL Woman

I have touched on this topic in the past, and due to current events felt the need to revisit it. In the year 2011 I have come across many situations that have made me ask the question, "where are all the real women?" In a time downtrodden with the insurgence of reality television. The images of Real Women doing Real things are few and far in between. It seems as society has embraced the images of women fighting and gossiping and crabbing* each other as the norm. But did I miss the memo or something? I wasn't aware that this was the way to carry yourself as a woman, a mother, a sista, a friend...ect. Since when did it become ok to not be happy with yourself so you drag down every and anyone around you? Quoting Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop, and Nicki Minaj like its sacred grail. Catchy one liners for tee shirts is not what life should be made of. There was a time when a Woman could compliment another Woman not knowing her personally, but just out of respect...
