My demons won't go to church

I sometimes wonder if the Lord really cares as much as the Bible says.  He is not always as involved as I think He should be, and sometimes I even think I attend church as a habit or a social obligation.  Then there are days like today, when I leave church thinking, "I will mess this up sooner or later, but right now I know I have done the right thing.  It is well in my soul this instant.  I was in the presence of the Most High God."

I rue the knowledge that I will get home, sleep, wake up to work and school and annoyance and temptation and before the week, no the day is done all the 'imps' I lost on Sunday will be found hanging off my shoulders again trying to find a way into my head.  It is as if they knew I was going to church and they stayed at home to pounce on me as I leave for work.

That is why I trust in Him.  That is why Christ is my merit, my righteousness, my advocate and my champion.
