Acts 28:3-5 (Amplified Bible) Now Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and he was laying them on the fire when a viper crawled out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand. When the natives saw the little animal hanging from his hand, they said to one another, Doubtless this man is a murderer, for though he has been saved from the sea, Justice the goddess of avenging has not permitted that he should live. Then [Paul simply] shook off the small creature into the fire and suffered no evil effects.
You're going about your day doing your work. Your serving your fellow man. You're doing the right thing and there is no cause for evil to come near you. Suddenly, out of nowhere the devil shows his ugly face. Maybe it's in the form of a harsh word from someone. Could be that it's an outright attack on your character or job performance, maybe even your ministry. When the devil comes around trying to put something on you and it seems he's going for blood, don't panic. Don't pour gas on the fire. Remember you are a child of God whom Jesus said would trample over all the works of the enemy. Overcome evil with good and do like Paul did - just shake it off and suffer no evil effects!
May God Bless you EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL YOU CAN ASK OR THINK!
