"The curse" Why do things happen? What caused this negative stuff to just seem to come from out of nowhere at me today? Bro Scott, Why are you discussing the negative? Because we don't worry about the good things, we are so thrilled by the blessings to question where they come from; we all know they come from God. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." (James 1:17) Well, that was easy! The bad will take a little longer to understand. "Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures. Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God."(Proverbs 2:3-5). If you want to know bad enough, He will show you. How, you may ask? "Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou "shalt see" greater things than these."(John 1:50) God will show you whatever you need to know and, or, what you are mature enough to handle. What giant are you facing today? A young preacher asked me the other day, "What is the difference between an attack of Satan and a trial of your faith?"
Are they, one in the same, can we know the difference, can they happen simultaneously? Yes- There is a difference/ you can know/ they can be going on simultaneously! There a list of things that I've found in the Bible that explains why stuff happens. So if we can identify what's happening and why, then we can stop or at least avoid some of this bad stuff. What we do and say today will set up our tomorrow. This is a big subject because we can do everything right today and get surprised tomorrow by something we didn't see coming. Remember, "We walk by faith, not by sight", life is a journey. So don't sit still, keep moving and you'll walk through some things, don't wallow in them. Face them with the Word. Keep moving by Faith, the journey continues tomorrow!!
