If we can believe that at any time in our lives, we can sure see it now. All we have to do is turn on the news. The attempt to embarrass, accuse, and more, against Christians is rampant.
But what are we to do when it happens at our own doorstep?
The family member that I told you about yesterday has come under a great cloud hovering above him that has been created by the devil to make him look like a terrible person, let alone trying to break him down to curse God instead of loving Him.
There are many people in the Bible that the devil went after back in the day. I direct you to one-man in particular who God considered to be "upright, perfect, and one that feared Him." Job 2:3.
He (Satan) indeed was the accuser and did everything to get Job to become someone that would do and be just the opposite of the kind of man that he really was.
And who did he use to do that?
But through all that he lost, eventually through his faithfulness to God, God rewarded him with even more than he lost.
I think if anyone in the bible can be our example today, Job is the one. No matter what we go through, we need to have the faith that God is working behind the scenes to get us to the place instead of denying Him, but where He will reward our faithfulness to Him.
Our family member will be rewarded by his faith in God at some point. God has a reason for letting him go through what he is. We don't know the whole reasoning behind it, but one day we will.
If you or someone you know is going through something similar, hang on to God with all you can. And when you can't hang on anymore, don't curse or deny Him, because it by is His strength that you will not lose the grip that holds you to Him.
Thanks for coming by today friends. God bless you!
