Spiritual Warefare

It seems that when God wants to move the devil is in the same fashion.  He tries to destroy all that God is doing.  I can see young people growing more and more in His name, but at the same time I can see them seem to be getting farther and farther away.  I also see many coming to know more about Jesus, and more wanting to get involved in the power that God can bring to our lives, and in the same way death and trajedy is happening more and more frequently.  Sometimes I fell like Psalm 43
1Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, And to thy tabernacles.
4Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.
5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, [Who is] the help of my countenance, and my God.
Satan always seems to get the uppper hand.  Even though God is king in my life and for Him I live my entire life, Satan always seems to be one step ahead.  I want God to have the glory in all things yet why is my enemy always on my back.  The closer I get to God and the closer God's people get to Him, Satan works even harder.  I have realized in my life that the ones satan has he worrys nothing about but the people that are diligent in the work of Christ Satan pursues grately.  I hate this fact but  I must remember that I must endure till the end because Christ has the victory.  Revelations 21:10 says
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Amen.

seeing Gods miracles

Everyday I go through life.  I claim to believe in the all powerfulness of our Lord Jesus. Yet sometimes I forget.  And it is easy to forget if a person is not lead by the Spirt of Truth, in which all things are revealed.

As I left russelville today i noticed faintly the price tag of gas.  $2.69, can you believe that!  That is outrageous, yet that has been the steady price for about a week now.  It had come my time of the week to get gas (this was the day before) and the price was at $2.57 and I thought I was just a wise shopper until today.  I again state that the price of gas has been steadly at $2.69.  I believe God deemed it necessary to get cheaper gas yesterday.  It says in Psalms 37:25
I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his descendants begging for bread.
As I pulled onto the intersate this verse resounded in my head as bells of truth in which I could base my life upon.  Found in the word of God and revealed to me in my life.  As things go on in my life I will look for little miracles that occur, because it is this in which truth founded in Christ is made real to me.
