But… when we share the Gospel, do we also share the warning? Do we let them know that eternity does not only exist in Heaven? The rich man did not want his brothers to suffer as he was. He wanted them warned.
When we look at the world around us, God is working. And when it doesn’t seem like an end to a problem is anywhere in sight or the burden will never lighten, remember, God isn’t done.
When the enemy creeps up trying to disturb the peace with his whispers, remember the battle has already been won. The Father is always with His children.
But I didn’t expect a snake to be on our porch when we were moving all around in that area and making all of this loud noise. It’s the same with the devil. He attacks us in places and times that we least expect it.
I am so thankful, because as “iron sharpens iron”, God has blessed me with a multitude of friendships that have sharpened me more than they will ever realize.
I often think the devil distracts us with things in our past to keep us from moving forward. If we aren’t moving forward, we can’t accomplish the goals God has set for us. In a sense, we become paralyzed and never get outside that box.
