"And do not give the devil a foothold."
-Ephesians 4:27
"…Smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. They destroyed the high places and the altars…" (part of 2 Chronicles 31:1). The Kings of Judah throughout their history have had times of giving the devil a foothold, and destroying those footholds put in place by their fathers. When ever a good king, good leader, good shepherd comes into power, they take the footholds away. When we allow the devil in the house, its hard to tell him he isn't welcome at the dinner table.
Thinking about my footholds, i would have to say one of the worst would have to be vegetating on Facebook. Its something simple…. but its amazing how stupid it is. Back home i would be on it for at least a few hours, coming up to Potter's field has helped me cut back, but even here i don't want to spend more than 20 minutes on it a day, so i wont. It's a great tool to stay in touch with people, but its a path that leads to a languished walk.
"Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word." (Psalm 119:37).
