I have found that each of us, for whatever reason, have misunderstood and consequently misappropriated and misapplied big and little circumstances that have entered and exited our lives. For none of us are immune from this infection and there's no onetime vaccine for misunderstanding and misusing truth, trials, temptations and test in our lives. Elijah is a case in point. Take note of his dilemma with a snorting queen (1 Kings 18 β 19). Sometimes we function in futility β all because we failed to see God at work and people, things and circumstances hijack our focus. We then live with the misfortunes of only seeing life through a tainted and dirty lens. I had a little helper... I pray this word and encouragement helps put a little rebar in your resolve.
A hijacked heart... when our focus is consumed with lies or threats or fears or empty and lifeless things that have misdirected and misguided our trust and trustworthiness.
We drift, like leaves upon the water, toward our focus. We're all carried away by our thoughts, even, when we're doing everything to run away from the thing that has hijacked our attention.
The thing we celebrate or fear... are the realities of what we see.
Every word of Satan, and those used by him (like Jezebel), should come with a bright and bold disclaimer that says; "But... I don't have the final say!"
