Page 10 - Psalms 11 thru 20

10. How does 1 John 4:4 disprove the belief

of many professing Christians that Christians

cannot resist temptation or resist succumbing

to sinful behavior (the “Devil made me do it”

mentality)? (See also 1 Cor. 10:13)

Anita’s Comments

(Psalm 11)

When a Christian is discouraged and wanting

to “flee as a bird” from God and God’s will for

his or her life, the enemy of our souls will be

close at hand to encourage us in that

disobedient direction. As in the story of

Jonah, Satan will provide “a ship” going in the

opposite direction from God’s will. Evidently

David was either being taunted by his

enemies or struggling with his own reasoning
