Oftentimes
I find that a victory that I have over the forces of sin and Satan are of
limited duration. I will no more than
achieve some victory (be it small or major) than another problem will pop up in
some other area. I will overcome one
vice, only to find another vice dramatically amplified.
Satan
seems to be following the battle plan of the Lamanites here (or, rather, the
Lamanites were following Satan’s battle plan).
When the Adversary is being defeated in one area of my life, he doesn’t
suddenly give up and acknowledge defeat.
Instead he repositions his forces to attack a different area of my
life. He constantly seeks my destruction
(and the destruction of each of us), and he will seek to accomplish this in any
way that he can.
I am
fooling myself when I think a victory in one aspect of my life will bring peace
from the battle with sin. Only complete victory
in all areas of my life can accomplish that goal.
