WHENEVER YOU LOOK FOR ME, YOU WILL FIND Me. My promise to be with you always ensures that you never have to face anything alone. This promise is for everyone who has trusted Me as Savior. However, to reap the benefits of this amazing blessing, you must look for Me in the midst of your moments. This sounds like an easy thing to do, but it goes against the grain of the world, the flesh and the devil.
The evil one uses three Ds to keep you from finding Me: distractions, deception, and discouragement. The world abounds with things to distract you from Me, so don't be upset when you realize your mind has wandered. Just return to Me with a smile, and whisper My Name in loving contentment. Deception is one of Satan's favorite tactics, from the time of Adam and Eve onward. The best defense against the devil's deceptions is to study and absorb My Word. Discouragement knocks at the door of every human heart at times, but you can refuse to let it in. As you resist these tricky tactics and look for Me, you will find Me.
