Today is a day which I fast each week. I have been doing it for several months and it hasn’t been that bad. I usually pray all day and keep my mind on things above as opposed to things in front of me. It figures the devil would be tempting me during this discipline because my absolute favorite breakfast for the week, which is usually on Fridays, was moved to Thursdays. That’s okay because it just makes my fast mean so much more by giving up something I usually look forward to. Another one of those “if the devil only knew” scenarios. If he only knew that by tempting me to break my fast on Thursday’s only makes me more determined to persevere.
If the devil only knew that prison would bring the best out of me, not the worst. If the devil only knew that separating me from my family and friends would draw me closer to God. If the devil only knew that confinement would set me free. So many “if the devil only knew” scenarios and I’m thankful that we don’t know either. Not knowing is what makes us place our trust in the lord.
If we knew the outcome already, there would be no need for faith. “For faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11) We are called to walk by faith and not by sight.
I have no idea where I will be in the future, I have no idea what I will be doing upon release…and I’m not worried because one thing I do know and that is “all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.”
~~~IF THE DEVIL ONLY KNEW THAT PAIN IS THE FUEL OF PASSION~~~
