It seems like we are seeing some perilous times, but what if we were without power for thirty days. Everything in the refrigerator would be spoiled in a few days. Everything in the freezer would be spoiled in a few days. It’s possible that we could be without water. Many victims of the hurricane are experiencing that now. One thing I have finally learned is that everything in the smallest detail is under GOD’S control. All of the people involved and their problems are in GOD’S sight and He is well able to handle each one according to His will. Jesus told His disciples that they “would have troubles in this world”, but He also said “be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world”. GOD did not say He would take away all of our troubles, He said He would make a way for us to come through them. What would it be like if we had no problems at all in this life? We would be completely worthless to GOD and anyone on this world. We would get so bored that we would weigh 900 pounds and unable to move. We just as well admit that as humans, good is dull, and bad is exciting. As I recall when my kids were little and when they did something naughty and funny I would laugh. That is the human side. Well, only GOD can give us the power to overcome this human nature we have inherited by the Holy Spirit He gave at the time we were saved.
BOTTOM LINE: We do not have the strength or power to overcome the devil’s temptations he puts in front of us. I think our GOD can take care of all of it. If the devil knocks on your door, ask Jesus to answer it….AMEN
