The devil has an uncanny way of getting us to view the hurtful situations we experience as God's way of not coming through for us. The devil uses this sly tactic to keep us bound and use and exploit us. We as the unsuspecting victim fall right into his hands and not only allow him to infect our life, but uses us to infect the lives of those in our inner circle. He also uses our desire for self absorbed fantasies to entice use to remain on his team. Sometimes we tend to seek instant results than to wait on God to handle the situation and bring about the correct end result. Did I also mention some of the pain and turmoil we endure is due to our own lack of patience. If you pray for God to change you instead of changing your situation, this will allow for the time it may take for God to bring you out of your wilderness. Be mindful the pain we may experience through each of our trials, are to strengthen us. God then is preparing us to have faith in him and begin to walk in our purpose. As we begin following God's direction, he expects us to use those same wilderness experiences to heal those that are in the same situations, or are about to go through them. So don't allow the devil to convince you to use your pain as a cope out. Keep in mind the one person that he is trying to pry you from, is the only person that can heal your pain and bring you through your situation.
Food for Thought: Did it ever occur to you that sometimes God may allow you to suffer in order for you to have no other choice than to depend on him?
Be Blessed,
Lady 4.0
