He comes at us when we're tired.

He comes at us when we're lonely, when we're alone, when we're isolated.

And he knows those moments to trigger us, to get us, to get us to fall for his lies and his schemes, as well as he knows the exact lies that we're susceptible to fall for.

And so for me, I know every single time, you know, when I'm feeling super tired, hungry, I've been going really, really hard.

I am in a very vulnerable place, like even releasing a book.

It's a very vulnerable place to be in.

And I know those moments.

And so I've started trying to like get ahead and be proactive instead of reactive.

But I've, I've started learning that he runs the same place and he's not creative.

And so learning that he runs the same play actually really helps our ability to know how to respond when, when they come.

And so that's something that's been really helpful for me and just identifying those things.

Yeah, it's so interesting.

Oftentimes our soul will feel a little off.

Something will feel a little off, but we can't quite put our finger on it.

You know, I think about Jesus being tempted and he was tempted in the wilderness and he's having this moment of kind of going through the exact same thing that Eve went through, but he didn't fall for the enemy's lies.

And every single time as he was tempted with a lie, he always responded with truth.

And I think so often we have these moments where we're believing a lie or we're feeling maybe the symptom of believing a lie.

Even if we can't identify, I'm believing a lie, we're feeling stuck in some way.

We're feeling bound in some way.

We're feeling whether it's depressed, anxious, we're comparing ourselves, we feel less than, we're feeling rejected.
