If you're looking for an expert hammer handler, don't call me--I'll be too busy nursing the last thumb I "lost"! Ouch--can't you feel it now--cause YOU'VE done it too! Well, I've been "pounded down" and I've seen others "pounded down" long enough--and it has nothing to do with real hammers, real nails, or real thumbnails--hang on!
You see, I'm out lookin' this morning for three culprits who are out to "do us in" every time...I've got my Bible handy and those so-called hammer-experts are not gonna win! If you'd like to play detective with me, come along!
First and chief suspect--"The Accuser of the Brethren"! He doesn't even deserve "caps" for his title--he's a mean one who will try to pound you down into the ground every chance he gets. He's the world's worst whisperer and he'll whisper false accusations into your ear until your mind, soul and spirit are on overload with JUNK! For that's what it is--JUNK! Just remember--"God don't make no junk!" "There is no truth in him...he is a liar (John 8:44)." So go tell him where to go--right to the pit where he belongs! Don't let him POUND YOU DOWN anymore with hell's hammer--not when you're holding the Hammer of God's Word (Jeremiah 23:29)! Quote it aloud in his face--and he MUST BE GONE--hammer and all!
And the other two suspects? Gotta read the rest of the devotional!
Don't let any one, including YOURSELF, POUND YOU DOWN...Pick up the Hammer of God's Word and use it! Then listen closely to the final gavel that sounds God's approval--"what I have made is VERY GOOD!" Now believe it and you will have a great day!

Today's prayer: "Lord, I'm Your child! I'm tired of being put down, of putting myself down, of letting the enemy "pound me" into the ground in defeat and despair. I'm not perfect--but I stand complete in YOUR perfection; my robe's not spotless--but I stand pure in YOUR righteousness. Remind me of WHO I AM IN CHRIST and help me get up, brush off the dust, and arise in Your strength to meet the day, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
