In my Book of Mormon reading, it mentions those two words. At work today, my boss said that the adversary was continuing to thwart anything good. I thought of those fiery darts that Satan uses to throw at us to get us away from that which is good.
I haven't played darts too many times in my life, but I have a few times. I look at a dart which is pointed and sharp on one side and digs into whatever it is thrown at. Then I think of FIERY darts that Satan has to infest our lives with them. What's the purpose of fiery darts? Not just darts, but fiery darts.
To me, Satan does everything beyond the normal, like darts. He sends fiery darts. Just as he sends anything else into our lives. He makes it worse, more damaging, more likely to cause us to lose our focus, and dedication. He will do whatever he can to get us depressed and get us to lose sight of that wonderful Eternal Perspective.
Though I reach upwards to Father's outstretched hands, I also too often see those fiery darts coming my way which causes me often to drop my hands low enough that I cannot reach Father's hands. In other words, Satan is doing whatever he can to stop me from believing as I want, focusing on Eternal things, and winning in the battle. Satan is crafty and effective. It is a constant battle, for he doesn't give up!
