DAY 2 OF 3

Sifted.

“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:” Luke‬ ‭22:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The devil desires to sift you as wheat. According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word for “Sift” is, ‘siniazō’ (G4617) which means, “to shake in a sieve, by inward agitation to try one's faith to the verge of overthrow.” Satan desires to agitate you and overthrow you. He wants to overthrow your faith. He desires that you veer off course.

For Deuteronomy‬ ‭28:14‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.” Don’t hesitate. Seek Christ. Don’t look to the left or to the right. Pursue Christ.

Choose not to serve any other gods. Choose to seek Him. Build your foundation upon Christ. Choose not to bow to any other idol. Choose to surrender to Christ with all of your heart. For Satan desires to sift you as wheat. He wants to sift your heart. Choose to give your heart and every aspect of it to Christ.
