Recognizing Things For What They Are

I have always been organized and on time person. I get up in enough time for things not to be stressful. I do not procrastinate. This is how I raised my family. And Monday through Friday we were fine but let Sunday come! There were things that went wrong, there were arguments and things were stressful. It took me a while to realize it was Satan. He didn't mess with us during the week but he didn't want us going to church on Sunday and if we went he wanted everyone mad and not speaking. I know some of you can relate to this!

Sometimes it just helps me to recognize things for what they are. When I realized this I began laughing and telling him he had already lost the battle because we were going to church and worship Jesus Who already has the victory. 1 Corinthians 15: 57, "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." I began expecting his unwelcome visits on Sunday mornings and quickly shut the door in his face.

I am watching him do the same to my ministry. The devil is not attacking because I am weak. He is attacking because I am a threat because there is something valuable inside of me. He can't take me out so he is trying to wear me out! I will not give in to him. God knows how I feel and He is with me, He is for me and He is working all things for good! Romans 8: 28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
