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.
My grandmother believed with her whole heart that Jesus died for her sins and that this life was temporary. And that one day, He would wipe away her tears, and there would be no more pain.
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.
Dense clouds filled the sky concealing the light from the moon and the stars, but since I always follow that same path to my car, I didn’t think much of the darkness or even bother using the flashlight on my phone.
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.
