PRAISE GOD! (I feel better now)

Is it me…or is satan the prince of darkness and of persistence? I mean, there are so many distractions to continually deal with, even in the church…Fall Festival, float for the parade, parsonage committee, meet with the District Board, CDLI homework, audio for website, pictorial directory…the list goes on and on. This stuff is all good, but it’s not the Main Thing! Then you add family and personal distractions…some days I just want to scream! But then I remember a saint who once told me that when the Spirit builds a fire…that’s when demons show up with their water buckets. So I scream out: PRAISE GOD! There is a fire here at Beulah (must be hotter than I first realized!) cause satan seems to be working overtime. What a privilege to be a part of God’s plan and see his hand move! My prayer is that we (each of us) would be given strength to stand firm against the enemy; a determination that would cause satan to scream; eyes to see the needs of those around us; a holy boldness in sharing our faith with every person we encounter; and that God would use us to encourage those believers who satan has beaten down and distracted from their calling…Lord, help us to keep the Main Thing the main thing! Amen.
