The Screwtape Letters

In what little spare time I have, I am reading THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS by C.S. Lewis. The book is brilliantly written as a collection of letters from one demon to another. The "affectionate Uncle SCREWTAPE" is writing to his nephew Wormword about tempting a man who has recently been saved. The letters are woven with tips on how the nephew can tempt this man from his new found faith. There are so many profound ideas that I would never have conceived of had this book not been written from this specific perspective. Through the first few letters, I was made fully aware of areas in my life where I am suseptable to the enemy. Screwtape even advises ways to distract the man from prayer. Maybe I'm just naive, but I had no idea that I could be under attack while I was praying. I had experienced this before, not knowing that it was an attack, merely assuming that I was easily distracted. The more I read, the more I am being made aware of my weaknesses. Praise God! I don't want to stay the same and be content in my walk. I want grow daily, and growing daily is going to take God constantly refining me like silver-putting me to the heat and watching the impurities rise to the top as he scrapes them away. It's really amazing to see how God is changing my life constantly, not only in the big picture, but in the little parts that really make a difference. I'm truly glad that He is a stickler for details!
