What do you mean get out of the way!!...Who's in my way?.. nobody is in My way, but I do have a tendency to get in God's Way. How can you get in God's way... let me give you a real life example...Our church is experiencing growth like never before and I am sure that the Devil is un-nerved by the whole situation. The Devil stoops to all levels of deception, mistrust, confusion, chaos etc.. you get the idea.A close friend and I had a difference in theology or opinion of scripture Interpretation. And that difference of opinion from the other party was expressed explicitly to my children without my fore-knowledge. The Devil used my friend to get to me through my children. The maternal instincts kick in and the mama bear becomes overly protective and the whole event led to hurt feelings.
This difference of opinion is not going to send you to heaven or hell which ever way you interpret the scripture, however debating the interpretation can hurt your witness discouraging others from taking steps towards salvation or even hurt other Christians who look to you for leadership and guidance in how you handle conflict.
The Devil has us so caught up in the petty things that our focus shifts from our priorities. Take a step back and observe how your actions or reactions affect the lives of others. Stop and think before you react to an action that is puppeteered by the Devil Himself.Your action and reaction can have dire consequences or they can be uplifting and encouraging... it is your choice.
I choose to be uplifting, encouraging and undefeated!!I choose to let go of the pettiness, regain my focus and be a blessing to others. I choose to get out of God's way and not to engage in the cause of confusion. I choose to let God Work
