- When
everything seems to be going wrong, consider that it might be
because you are doing the right thing.
- When everything
begins to topple and bizarre things happen, it doesn't necessarily
mean that you need to change your tactics. There are times when
the enemy hates something you are doing so much that he will
do all he is allowed in order to get you to change your course.
Learn to recognize the situation.
It isn't so hard. We tend to get frustrated first, and then either
give up or substitute a safer activity.
Our enemy has been around for a
long, long time. and although he has no power over us, he can
see around the corner is a way that we cannot. If he can discourage
us he will - and it usually isn't hard to discourage someone.
We are not to read the signs, we
are to obey. That means that when things go smoothly or the road
is bumpy, you may not decide what is right by the absence
of glitch or even disaster.
Many missionaries have lost wives
and children to disease or worse. They have often spent years
building, loving, preaching, only to have a wolf come in and
seem to tear the heart out of the work.
Other times, there is prayer and
fasting, and God brings evidence of His approval with blessing
and affirmation.
Have you had three flat tires?
Don't turn around and go back! Unless you have a restraint from
the Holy Spirit, press on.
Press on, brother, press
on!
