have
you ever wondered why your life is just one problem after another?
for one,
adam and eve gave into temptation, allowed sin to come into the world and we’re
all paying the result. for another, you
have an enemy and his name is satan. you
say, “do you believe in a personal, real devil?” of course i do. GOD does.
the bible talks about him. and
all you have to do is pick up a newspaper and see his work all around the
world.
evil is
a real entity in this world. satan wants
to mess you up. he wants to mess with
your mind. he wants to mess with your
family. he wants to mess with your
health. he wants to mess with your
finances. he wants to mess you up. particularly if you are a follower of CHRIST,
if you’re trying to do the right thing, you’re the enemy of the devil. he’s going to try to mess you up anyway.
so
you’ve got the world competing against you – a fallen world – and you’ve got a
personal enemy who’s competing against you.
on top
of that, you just make your own mistakes.
you blow it. most of the problems
and pain in my life come from my own poor decisions, from my own lousy
choices. when i make dumb decisions, i
pay the penalties. when i sin, there are
always results. most of the time the
devil doesn’t have to worry about me because i’m messing up my own life.
those
things are always working to bring problems into your life and pain comes as a
result.
just a
thought from the front porch…
