it is amazing

It is amazing how God allows Satan
to come so close to us . Even when we desire to do good
solely, evil is present with us. Rom. 8:21
This is discouraging, but victorious in the same time.
God doesn’t give Satan a choice.
He has to be present in our lives.
This is a part of his judgment.
He has to daily witness how the glory of God is revealed in
our earthen vessels.
This is his humiliation in the midst of his ostensible success.
I’m sure that every time when a child of God chooses to give
and to receive grace tons of frustration is experienced in the
demon world. We don’t defeat the demon armies by shouting
louder. They are incapacitated by the sweet words of forgiveness.
The evil is strangely present in the church , too.
Again, I think that God doesn’t give Satan a choice.
He has to” go to church”.
This is where God displays his glory today.
It is not seen in the golden decorations of ancient buildings
God is glorified in human relationships, when believers choose
to look beyond failures in order to see one another’s needs.
“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory
by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while,
perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” I Pet.5:10
