There is a lot of truth to this meme. When we are going the right way -- when we are walking on the straight and narrow -- we are always going to meet opposition. Opposition from the world who is going on the broad path the other way. And opposition from Satan, who will do anything to keep us from going forward with Christ.
I heard a message one time from Dr. Bruce Wilkinson where he talked about a student in seminary bragging about how good his life was going now that he had started school. The professor said he had never been more disappointed in the student than in that moment. "If you are having no difficulties and are having no problems while you are in seminary studying about Jesus, that means Satan views you as no threat and not worth his time."
Here's hoping that on this Monday you meet enemies as you start this new week.
Pastor Greg
