**You know that funky allergic reaction your skin gets when you have been bit by mosquitoes, or brushed up against some East Texas bull-nettle? Or maybe the day after walking through poison ivy? I don’t know about you, but my body usually reacts after the damage is done. Then it starts screaming to get relief. It attacks the foreign objects in a drastic way, and that is when our misery becomes first priority. There were not enough warning signs before the attack took place, some of them subtly and quietly were lurking in the shadows waiting for their culprit to pass by. They were not particular who it would be; anyone would do.
**Satan is such a miserable piece of crap, he wishes to bring anyone down with him. He knows where he is doomed to go and he wants as much company as possible. His character proceeds him, but sometimes we are consumed in our trek across this journey of ours, we don’t pay attention to who is trying to lead us (not into temptation). We get so self contained in our own stuff, we ease into the poison unknowingly. Why? Because our GPS (God Positioning System) has been switched off. I must give credit to Pastor Teo for the GPS thought, but I had to embellish. God does know the road ahead with our destination in mind. We have all the tools and guidance system available to us at our disposal if we would just choose to read the right map, or take time to listen before we leap.
**So far some of the journey has been smooth, and obviously some of the way has been more detours around rocky roads. Frustration to the point of depression will gladly set in, especially when you are on the losing end.
**Refuse to fall into these traps! You are not out there on the edge alone and abandoned. Jesus sees your desperation with one eye on you and the other on your destiny! One eye on you and one eye on your destiny! One eye on you and one eye on your destiny! Oh, my Lord, do you see me? Do you see where I am?
**If you can only accept a fragment of how much He loves you, Hope will rise up to give reprieve. Where there is Hope there is life. He is the giver of life to the oppressed! Victory is His name. Life is His gift to you & me when we thought there was none left. Look up and see Him. Reach toward that healing hand.
