Good vs. Evil

I had a little epiphany this morning while I was doing the dishes from breakfast. You know, one of those times where the Holy Spirit spoke something into my heart and it was like a light bulb went off inside my head. To back track, recently my friends and family have been under attack in a major way. I'm not gonna go into specifics, but let's just say that the devil is working overtime trying to hurt God's people and His church. We are standing on Gods promise to never forsake us and we know that He will work everything out for our good and for His glory. This morning I felt the Lord tell me that the difference between good and evil is that evil never rests!!! It hit me like a ton of bricks... Now don't start analyzing and think I'm off my rocker here. I'm in no way saying that God takes breaks and rests or that He isn't always there working things out on our behalf. It's not God who takes breaks, it's His people who do! That's right, stop and think of all the times that you've skipped church to watch you favorite team play on Sunday. Think of all the times you were too "busy" to read your bible or pray. Think of all the times you felt that nudge from God to help someone in need and simply said "I'm too busy!" Now you see where I'm coming from. 1Peter 5:8 tells us how the devil walks around like a roaring lion seeking to devour us. The devil never takes a break, but he loves it when we do. When we decide to chill and not read The Word, or relax instead of talking to God, or when we turn our back on those in need so that it won't inconvenience us, we have openly given the devil space to take advantage of. We all get tired and we all feel down from time to time. But these are the times to cling to our Savior with the most fervent devotion so that He can give us rest and peace that passes all understanding. We as Gods people have to take a stand and not rest on our faith. We have to take the enemy on head long everyday and be ready to serve the Lord at all costs. Don't let the enemy get a victory today by your inaction or because you want to take a break. Thank God that He never takes a break and is there for us whenever we need Him!!! Psalm 13:5-6 New Living Translation (NLT) 5 But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. 6 I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.
