Some believe that all their bad experiences are connected to the work of the Devil, while the good time must be the blessings of God? But this is not so, because tribulation to the early Church helped it to spread out from Jerusalem!
God does intervene from time to time in our situations, to sift us to disturb us, so that we might be getting on with His work and not our pleasure and stagnation! The Devil and his demonic host would be happy that we were inactive, thus ineffective!
Blessed are the peace makers and peace from strife is a great achievement, but repentance in war is even better to see souls saved from the madness of conflict? The Devil will one day bring the promise of peace to the world, before he turns and reveals his evil self with the 666 markings!
