A Hurricane is Coming
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” (1
Peter 5:8 KJV)
Hurricane season starts in two months. We may or may not have a hurricane hit
us. However, there are other kinds of hurricanes and they are hurricanes of
life. If we have surrendered our lives in full time service to Jesus, there is
no doubt that these hurricanes will hit us. Jesus tells us to be sober and
vigilant because satan is seeking us to devour us.
I received an email from someone who told me “My day was going great when all of
a sudden; everything that could go wrong did go wrong”. Have you ever had a day
like that? I have had several days like that. It makes satan very angry when we
are serving Jesus and he will attack us in every way possible to discourage and
defeat us.
When we start to get discouraged, we need to realize that it is just satan
trying to stop us from serving Jesus. We must not let that happen! It is worth
being criticized and ridiculed if we are making Jesus happy. If ever someone
deserves to be happy, it is Jesus. When He was here on earth, He was also
ridiculed and criticized so He understands how much it hurts.
You might as well be prepared because if you are serving Jesus a hurricane of
criticism, rejection and hatred is coming. There is only way you can continue
serving Him in the midst of this vicious attack and that is to let Him fight
your battles. Just keep doing what He has told you to do and He will take care
of you and bring you through every attack victoriously. Thank You, Jesus, for
helping us.
