There is a moment in each day that Satan can not find.
-- Blake

There is a moment in each day that Satan cannot find. When is that moment for you?

Is it in the first hours of the new morning when the birds are waking, the dewdrops are freshest, the moon is departing for the sun, and your senses are most in tuned with creation? Is it when your waking thoughts are tender as they come alert, your breathing is steady and peaceful, and your eyes have yet to open to wipe away sleep’s serenity? Or is it in the ending hours of your day when all is well in your abode, the lights are out, and the tranquility of sleep embraces you once again? Can the enemies of worry and discord be found in either of those moments?

Maybe the enemy cannot enter in the time spent in conscious and righteous communion with your family and friends. Maybe the enemies of inattentiveness and negligence can find no space to counter the unconditional regard family members show one another when each is listening intently, touching and being touched, and loving wholeheartedly. Perhaps there’s no space for the enemy of judgment in the honest exchanges between friends whose sole agenda is to love, support, and help one another reach their greatest potential. Enemies are far from present in those moments.

Even in pain and grief, the enemies of despondency and hopelessness can have a hard time getting inside to do damage when you are loving your Self by being kind to your heart, gentle with your spirit, and forgiving your mistakes, oversights, and imperfections. The enemy is blocked behind that covering.

In your communion with God, when you keep you heart focused on God’s movement in you, the enemies of distraction and faithlessness can’t even come close to making an appearance. The enemy’s light is dimmed and put out when you sincerely go before God and place your Self in Him. Enemies are shut down like water on fire, evaporating like steam to travel elsewhere.

Whenever that moment is for you, stay in it, bask in it. Breathe it deeply! Praise God for it! The moment, minute, hour, or day is so sweet and magnificent that even if the enemy could find it, the enemy can in no way penetrate it and fill it with darkness and disquiet. There are certainly moments when the enemy is present and at work, but whatever we had to do to keep the enemy out at specified times is the same thing that’s necessary at all times so that we won’t be squashed by the sure pervasiveness of the enemy.

There is a moment in each day that Satan, the enemy, cannot find. When is your moment?
