Why is it that when you extend yourself to do something good, to do something right- people make judgements, they ask questions and wonder about your motives? Anytime the Lords work is being done, the devil puts forth his side and things come about to discourage and make us doubt why we are doing what we are doing. Don't you think Satan knows about God? Satan has read the bible, he was on that inner lining until he decided not to follow and do his own thing.
So anytime we are doing something good, serving the Lord in some important way, reaching out to new areas of doing ministry where all the messy tough stuff is at - the devil will poke his head up. It might be through someone, comments, gossip, or some other circumstance ... but it will happen regardless.
Pray through it loved ones. Stay focused on what God has asked you to do. It might be tough but it will be sweet when you come out on the other side.
Its been a long week but I am really looking forward to walking through the "Streets of Bethlehem" tonight with my family and some of our Rock Group families. It should put everything into perspective.
Peace,
