| Tools
for Sale |
It was advertised that the devil was going to put his tools up for
sale. On the date of the sale, the tools were placed for public
inspection; each tool being marked with its sale price. They were
a treacherous lot of implements...Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Deceit,
Lying, Pride, and so on. Laid apart from the rest was a harmless
looking tool, well worn and priced very high.
"What is the name of this tool?" asked one of the purchasers,
pointing to it.
That is Discouragement", replied the devil.
"Why have you priced it so high?"
"Because it is more useful to me than the others. I can pry open
and get inside a man's heart with that when I cannot get near him
with my other tools. Once I get inside, I can make him do what I
choose. It is badly worn because I use it on almost everyone, since
very few people know that it belongs to me."
My friend, don't let satan discourage you in anyway. You are God's
child and have the victory already won. All you have to do is keep
your faith on the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ.
The devil will not have a chance to discourage you, even with his
best tools.
