Sections 50-53

So these sections got me thinking about a few things.  Mainly that Satan is always around, that we will always have temptation.  All Satan has to do is just get us a little bit, and leave the rest for the natural man to take care of.  There are many people and "spirits out to decive us.  We are warned to watch out for the hypocrites. 
It is scary to think how badly Satan wants us to fall, and how easy it is if we re not thinking to just give into one little thing that he asks us to do.  "once wont hurt"  but it does, I promise, it hurts. 
We always have to be on the watch for those people who want to overthrow us. 
But here is what keeps me holding on or one of the things
50:5-6
5 But blessed are they who are faithful and endure, whether in life or in death, for they shall inherit eternal life.

6 But wo unto them that are deceivers and hypocrites, for, thus saith the Lord, I will bring them to judgment.

We need to build our lives on the rock of our Lord and have the strength to endure.  "No one ever said it would be easy, but that is would be worth it"  We all struggle and fall into temptaion that is why our Savior gave his life for us, so that we can have the atonement and get back up on our feet when we fall. 

We need to CHASE the darkness away from us.  There is no other way, it will stay and try to take over the light until it is gone and darkness has consumed you.  Satan wont leave just because you asked him too.  You have to fight it, you have to do everything opposit he says.  Chase him away.  Be that person that when you wake yo in the morning Satan says "Dang, she is awake"
23 And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.

24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.

The places we live now, here on earth, this is our home, and yet it is also the land of our enimies.  Around ever courner someone is there to try to make us fail, but we cannot fall to the feet of our enimies but remeber the goal is in sight, that promise of eteral life.
 
So I know this is short and not very good of a entry (this is also the hw that is due friday) but there is some really good things in these sections.
 
I love my heavenly father.  I know that I can always pray to him to give the the strength that I need to be able to face Satan and his followers and the natural man.  I know that I can overcome Satan, as long as I have the spirit, he cannot touch me.  I know the church is true.
