Amalickiah

Robert D. Hales gave a really good fireside at the beginning of this month. His discussion of Amalickiah (Alma 46 - 51) sparked a couple thoughts about how Satan works on me.
Satan is quite a bit more persistent than the average person. If I were to be rejected for a date by the same girl three times in a row, I would probably avoid her for fear of her calling the police; Satan on the other hand has nothing to lose. He is like a door to door salesman that comes by daily, just to make sure I haven't changed my mind.
Second, Satan is the master at blurring the lines. Multiple times he has succeeded in helping me to rationalize myself into some rough situations.
The word of God seems like a good defense. It will replenish the vision required to 'just say no', give me principles to back up my standards, and facilitate receiving answers when confusing exceptions are thrown at me.
