1 Thessalonians 2:18 (NKJV) 18 Therefore we wanted to come to you\u2014even I, Paul, time and again\u2014but Satan hindered us.<\/p>\n

As believers, we\u2019d like to think we are untouchable or exempt when it comes to satan’s attacks on our family, our jobs, our friends, etc.<\/p>\n

But even Paul says that satan hindered him from getting to where he needed to go.<\/p>\n

The notes in my study Bible tell me that his undefined blocking of Paul caused Paul great emotional turmoil and he ended up having to send Timothy instead.<\/p>\n

1 Thessalonians 3:6 (NKJV) 6 But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we also to see you\u2014<\/p>\n

Knowing this, we need to be aware that there will be times when we will be fought and\u00a0hindered from trying to do God\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

When this happens, it can be discouraging.<\/p>\n

We need to stay focused, through prayer, and sometimes fasting, following the leading of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

If we need to make a change in the plan, it\u2019s OK. God will see to it that He gets the results He wants either way.<\/p>\n

Stand strong and resist the enemy, and he will flee.<\/p>\n

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.<\/p>\n

God will go ahead of us and work out the details as we stay submitted to Him even through the fiery darts. Amen.<\/p>\n
