Chief just shared a video with me. Y’know those videos where you don’t expect the plot twist at the end, like a clown rushing out of nowhere or a snake covering the screen.
On a normal day, I’d scream and fling my phone away. But today, I barely even flinched.

I was going to make a joke about how nothing can scare me anymore after what we’ve been through this past week, but trust the Holy Spirit to make it a teachable moment.

You see, the video didn’t scare me at all because I KNEW something would happen. I anticipated the plot twist. I knew someone would jump out at me on the screen.

It is how he operates — by catching you unawares. This is why apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 2:11, asks us not to be ignorant of the devil’s tactics.
Basically, don’t let him take you 'fi idiat.' Anticipate his every move, and plan accordingly [in the place of prayer.]

Someone cannot surprise you if you know that they plan to. Likewise, the devil cannot scare you if you’re aware and well-prepared for that.
Remember: Without the element of surprise, fear isn’t as effective. Don’t be ignorant of Satan’s strategies.
God bless you.
