There is a popular T-shirt with a slogan on the front that reads, “Not Today Satan.”

Most days, I hope you are growing in your faith. You are actively fighting the forces of evil in your heart and mind, and evil had better watch out for you.

But there are days when the best you can hope for is to stand your ground. Days where you vow to yourself, I will not give up any piece of my life to evil. You may not be growing, but you are not going to shrink, either.

I want the shirt to say something like, “Today is Your Day, God.” I also understand that some days, saying, “Not Today,” has great power.
