I used to be concerned with the enemy stealing my blessings. I would try to hold on to them tight. However, I've been delivered from this fear. It's amazing. People will do you wrong right in front of you. Forget what the enemy is trying to do behind your back. People are bold and the enemy presents many faces. Some (not all) of the people who you thought were in your corner are nothing more than enemies in your camp seeking out ways to bring you down. Watch people say to you in good times and during bad times. Pay attention to their treatment of you. Often times we overlook the small signs that reveal their true nature and character. We miss the signs to let us know what their true intentions are towards us. Focus is important. This has been one of the problems I've been overcoming during this season.
I've learned though, to feed my faith and starve my fears. The thief can not hide from God and he (or she) will have to return everything they stole sevenfold. More importantly, as I am in Christ and He is me, I trust Him to supply all of my needs. So nothing I lose is of any concern to me when I'm blessed by the best. God's got more blessings for me than anyone can count.
So what am I getting at then? I am sharing this in hopes that it will inspire you. Don't maneuver around your path out of fear of the enemies you will have to encounter. You will not face them alone. Don't abandon your dreams out of fear that someone may step in and interrupt them. The path towards success is one that you should embrace. God has set things up so that in the end, we will always win. Don't worry about what happens during the middle. Stay focused on the promises of God.
Be encouraged. I love you all.
