If you've ever been bullied, you know it's a humiliating experience. You get teased, talked about, taunted and in extreme cases – physically attacked by your bully.
I don't know how kids handle bullies today, but back in the day you showed up with your big brother/sister/cousin to handle your bully for you. As long as you stood behind your big brother/sister/cousin, the tables were turned. You may have even done some taunting yourself by sticking out your tongue or giving a shout of "Now What?!?" toward your bully. All of a sudden that bully doesn't appear to be as bad as you thought. Your big brother/sister/cousin just might even beat up your bully, make him/her cry and take back anything they may have stolen from you.
But it wasn't over was it? Because once that bully caught you alone by yourself, there was hell to pay. If only you could take your big brother/sister/cousin everywhere you went, your bully would do you no harm.
My friend, Satan is our bully. He taunts us, picks on us and for some – he physically attacks. But I have to tell you, his bark is much bigger than his bite.
We have a big brother and friend in Jesus. As long as you stand behind Him, you are protected. When you live according to God's will by following Christ, you are protected. Don't get caught by trying to do things on your own or living by your rules instead of yielding to God's. Your bully (Satan) will find you and beat you up. Stay close to God and He will take care of you.

Who's Your Daddy?
When you are surrounded by your enemies, remember who's your daddy
When you cant find your way, remember who's your daddy
When your friends abandon you, remember who's your daddy
When you don’t know how you're going to pay your bills, remember who's your daddy
If you get lonely, remember who's your daddy
When you're confused, remember who's your daddy
When you are surrounded by your enemies, remember who's your daddy
If you're feeling hopeless, remember who's your daddy
When you need direction, remember who's your daddy
If you are sick, remember who's your daddy
When you realize things are out of your control, remember who's your daddy
If God is nothing more to you than the creator of the universe, He is NOT your daddy. By accepting His offering of love thru the sacrifice that was made by His Son, you are adopted into His family and He becomes your Father, BUT God is much much more than salvation. There is freedom in KNOWING He is your daddy.

PATIENCE
My daughter just got her first car this week. Once she completes drivers ed in a few weeks, she will be licensed to drive it. But what does she do? She takes the car for a little unauthorized spin! Now, her driving privileges have been delayed as a consequence for her disobedience.
How many times have we messed up something God had in store for us? Whatever you’re praying for (as long as it’s in His will), He will provide it. Jesus said:”…ask whatever you will in my name and it shall be granted unto you” (John 16:13). For me, it is harder to be shown what God has in store for me. Because of my impatience, I will try to get it prematurely, mess it up and delay my blessing.
Whatever it is you’re waiting for…be patient and wait on God to deliver it to you. There is work yet to be done in and through you before He can release your blessing. Concentrate on Him and He will come through!
