His tactic in such persons is rather a biting, gnawing action that triggers a sense of anxiety, diminishing their peace, and undermining their delight in God’s service. And this approach is effective. If they—and we—are not aware of, do not understand, and do not reject this “biting” action, it will in fact diminish our energy in “rising from good to better.” Further problems may ensue as well if we continue to yield to this troubling action of the enemy.”",
