Sometimes it is hard to tell what is really happening.
The enemy is often disguised to the extent that it can be difficult to discern the source of the battering or source of distress. And of course, he always kicks when we are down.
The issue is never the enemy. The issue is always the One who holds the stars in place. The issue is the Word of God. The issue is Love. The issue is obedience.
So Soldier of The Cross, you must pray for Light to see what is really happening. You do not need to know why and you certainly do not need to know anything right now. He said He would never leave us nor forsake us and that our needs would be provided. That is all we need to know.
Absolutely, positively, we do not need to know why. And God leads on a need-to-know basis.
So, do the next thing. Do it with all your heart.
Are you tired? Broken heart? Grieving? Visit the shut-in. Offer to read a Psalm. Go to a nursing home and ask to see the Alzheimer’s patients. Hold their hands and tell them about Jesus. You will be amazed at the response and the comfort and assurance in your own soul.
Are you having financial problems? Send money to a missionary.
Depressed? Stand in front of the bathroom mirror and read Psalm 93 aloud. Then, encourage someone else by calling or writing.
Soldier, if there is any chance at all that you are under attack, take an opposite physical action.
Move! Give! Call! Write! Sing! Pray!
It is called "resisting the enemy" and he will flee!
