Satan is not going to win. I start with this statement because he just isn’t! Yesterday was going to be (to me) a nice catch-up day. I did get the things caught up I wanted to, but in addition to them, it seemed a wheelbarrow load of issues were added to it (and some were quite large ones).

This morning I awoke early with all that today holds on my mind–several counseling appointments, our quartet singing for an hour for a luncheon, and all of the things which went wrong yesterday. In all honesty, I don’t know how in the world the things will get straightened out, but I know God does.

As I was finishing my complaining while I journaled, I asked Jesus what He wanted me to know for today? His response pointed out that He could see my troubled soul. He reminded me that my role is to trust and then obey. Later in my devotions I saw at the bottom of my prayer list the words: Praise Jesus for all things. It was then that I truly saw my lack of trust so I just stopped and thanked Jesus for the way He is going to use yesterday’s torments as tools for growing all that are involved in it. For this I PRAISE HIM!

I have no idea what today will develop into, but I do know that our God is bigger than any obstacle Satan wants to throw our way. I look forward to being a better follower of Jesus as a result of this.
