I am going through something right now. My parents turned on the offensive when I had a few unsuccessful moments with my son. He is at the terrible two stage something fierce and I still don't know what to do. I have had less sleep than usual and at one point I had to sleep in my car. My watch broke. I'm having trouble keeping up with my load at work and I had a frustrating run yesterday trying to get WiFi at three different locations to work for my macbook in order to get my employers work done. I find that mac is just becoming more incompatible with a lot of things.
In all of this and others left unsaid, God is still good. I could have caught a cold sleeping in the car, but He kept me. Some week ago, I took my son shopping at Walmart and he fell asleep in the cart. I grabbed the first soft thing I could grab on a side aisle which just happened to be a blanket I just knew for sure I wasn't going to buy and I didn't like. But I did need one for the car, and my son wasn't trying to wake up until we returned to the car. That blanket kept me warm.
I could have not made it to work and really has a flat tire. But God had AAA check my tires and show me the tire pressure sensor was malfunctioning because of the drop in temperature. Not a third nail. And I didn't have to pay for their labor.
I could have been too low on cash to pay the toll. In the past, I've always had just enough cash for a toll and avoided certain toll booths because they were too high. But the Lord permitted I have EZ pass and I didn't have to worry about not having enough.
Places closed early on me. I cried in public twice in my frustrations, and although they didn't understand how to give me an egg mc muffin sans the sausage or bacon, I still got a bottle of water to have.
I know you (the reader) don't understand what mess I'm talking about. You'd have to be there in all this to see.
This is what a version of spiritual warfare looks like.
God is good. Satan will try to drag you down with a bunch of tom-foolery, but God will always help you through.
Praise the Lord
