The enemy is not happy. He is waging war on us. In the last week I have had three near-accidents while driving. I am a cautious driver and I watch where I am going. The first one on my way to campus, a pedestrian was crossing the street at the wrong time and thankfully I was going slow enough and saw him so I did not have to slam on my breaks- but barely- and that isn't the sort of thing I miss. The most recent, I was going through a parking lot and a truck was parked on one side, I was going to go around when a car came from behind the truck and nearly hit me head on- with the girls in the car.
I say this not to glorify the enemy but to say that God is more powerful. In all of these circumstances, God shielded us and kept the accidents from occurring. He ir our fortress and our shield, our protector.
The enemy has also brought up little things to cause bickering between my spouse and I. This is part of the crazy cycle. Little things that are said that hurt me, cause me to react towards him without respect, which cause him to react without love. And so it spins. Last night it was over my being too tired to watch a movie. Now really, how is that a big deal, certainly not. And the enemy would have loved for us to go to sleep angry but God helped us ask for forgiveness and find peace. Another plan foiled....
Our children have been unruly this week. Now they are kids and kids sometimes are a little stressful but this is out of this world. But as we practice Godly parenting, the enemy is losing this battle for our children.
He is losing the battle for our marriage. He is losing the battle for our home. God is victorious. And the enemy isn't happy. Keep us covered in prayer. There are thousands of things that could crash down on us at any moment - but in God's sustaining power we know and believe that He is going to get us through this and we will be astronger, more united team because of it
Continuing to pray--and walk where God leads and ignore the million other pathways that He isn't leading us down.
