There is No Such Thing As A Smooth Sailing

The devil is roaring his ugly head. I can’t say that it shouldn’t have been expected. When things get great, when the Holy Spirit comes into the church strengthening his people, the devil will come after you. the devil doesn’t want what he has already; he wants what he can’t have. When we say yes to Jesus, the devil gets angry.
For the past few weeks, the Lord has been in the Church. He has been strengthening us. I can literally feel His presence. While this has been happening, He has been helping me on the job, making it easier. It’s been an exciting time for us. The devil wasn’t going to take it lying down.
For the first time in awhile, I began getting a little down. Yesterday, i was battling w/ my irritation towards someone in the church (It’s me-not her). Today, i was late to work because of 2 wrecks. I was irritated. I should have immediately prayed, but I got angry.  I later realized my mistake, repented & prayed. Then, my bladder was full during the 2nd wreck. It was awful. I, thankfully, got to a restroom in time. Ultimately, I ended up late. I got to work with a non pleasant attitude. I talk time was significantly up. My stats wee awful. My tone was not pleasant. It was not the way I wanted to start my April off.
Thankfully, the Lord showed me that this is to be expected. He allowed me to know that my blessing Is near. The devil doesn’t want this for me. He wants to steal it from me. The Lord also let me know that it’s about how we react to the situation. Do we try to handle it or do we take It to God? If you answered the latter, you would be right. We have to give it to God.
Despite this manic Monday, I’m still blessed. The Lord is still w/ me. The devil has lost the war. I’m not worried about the devil. He will meet his doom in a few. I want to please my Lord. It’s not about me, but about He!!!

P.S. Brothers & Sisters, keep pressing your way In the Lord. Don’t let the devil scare you into missing you blessing or from pleasing God.
