A real place in our life

He’d been doing the right thing. Sometimes you do the right thing and you don’t get the right result. When we have messes in our lives, it’s almost always caused by disobedience. And that is true, but there are also times when the devil comes against us just because we’re making progress in the word. There are times when the devil comes against us because we’re at a real place in our life where God’s trying to bring us up to the next level. The enemy quickly runs in and tries to drag us down so we don’t ever make that transition and go to that next place God has for us.

It might be the next place in your giving, the next place in your ministry, the next place in your love walk but the devil doesn’t want you making progress. I heard one man say there are two times when the devil comes against you: When you’re doing something wrong and when you’re doing something right. When I heard that, I thought: Then what’s the point in trying to figure it out? So when I have trouble in my life, I don’t try to figure out if I did something wrong or if I did something right; I just trust God because you know what? I’m too old to struggle anymore, I’m too old to be frustrated, and I’m too old to be confused.

I’ve already done all that for many, many, many years and I decided a few years ago: I’m gonna enjoy the journey. I’m not gonna be worrying about something all the time and trying to figure something out all the time and be mad about something all the time and offended all the time. I’m just going to trust God.
