God Can Deliver Us

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”
John 10:10

We all have had days when everything seems to be going wrong. Days when we feel dejected, and think that the world is against us. Everything we do seems to be the wrong thing and we struggle with even the simplest task. These days appear to us to be like a dark cloud is over our heads, and everything that could go wrong in our life is happening. During these times when we feel everything is lost, and we have no peace and joy in our lives, it is not God that is working in our lives, but it is Satan attacking us. These are times that we have let our guard down, and Satan has seen an opening, and is making his assault on us and our inner peace. It is easy to focus on those things the enemy is attacking us with, because they represent the things we value most in our lives. Maybe it is an illness that has befallen us or a loved one, a financial loss, a ruined relationship, the death of a dream, or even the death of a loved one. When these times happen to us, and they will, we must always remember that Satan will attack us and try to destroy everything that is precious to us. It is during these times that we need to remember that God is greater than everything. He knows all about us, our strengths our weaknesses and also our vulnerabilities. We should not forget that this might be a time when God is testing us, to let us know just how vulnerable we really are. When things go bad in our lives, this is the time we need to get our minds, and our thoughts focused back on God, and ask Him to take control of the situations and lead and guide us back on the right paths. These troubled times may be our wake up call, telling us we need to refocus our lives on God. God can handle our troubles if we ask Him.
