God has an Agenda for My Life

"God has an agenda for my life...BUT so does the devil"

Think about that one, I mean really think about it...are you sure you know the difference in what is based on God's agenda for your life and what is the works of the devil? Do you think the devil's agenda is going to be in plain sight? Are you unintentionally eagerly falling into the hands of the devils plan?

Another favorite bible verse of mine is:

So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don't give up. Galatians 6:9

This one hangs up on my desk at work, because Lord knows I need that verse often during the day!!!

I feel like the devil has been full force in my life lately. And I have wanted to give up more than a few times.  I've had a lot of tears an pain this year and last year.  I have given the devil the opportunity to slip in and he is taking full advantage.  The devil will always be knocking at the door...he wants to destroy us, destroy our family, our relationships.  

"the more we hide our sins, the more Satan has a hold on us"

I have an analytical mind, and lately I have wanted to learn more about Christianity.  I want to know why we believe. I want to know how and why..and you know what? I'm not getting good answers from "Christians"...People these days just believe and do not dig deeper.  They hear something and take that as truth! More often than not the answer to my question are- that's just the way it is...Am i in the select few category of wanting to know why?  Or is my questioning giving the devil ample opportunity to pull me away?? Am I sinning because I want to have a better understanding?  

Okay, so getting back to scripture...Job lost practically everything: his loved ones- all of his children, at once no less, his wealth and his health.  And what did he do?  He didn't give up!  I will often be the first to wander what good will come out of something bad that is going on in my life, but you know what...I have NEVER lost practically everything I had like Job did, and so if he didn't give up I don't think I have the right to for much less!  Are my problems big burdens to bear? Yes they are, but do I have it as bad as some people? Not by a long shot.  Although it is easy to forget in the "me, me, me" world we live in, someone is always fighting a harder battle than you are.  

God will work our pain- ALL of our pain- for perfection.  He does have a perfect plan for us.  I will reap at His fitting moment in time!!
