Do you ever feel like you’re being attacked? We can be attacked by people we thought were our friends. By criminals. By our country’s national enemies. And by spiritual forces. But when we put our faith in God and rely on Him daily, it is possible to be finding God in attacks.

Everyone gets attacked. The most hurtful attacks come from people we thought were our allies—such as Christian friends. When we expect someone to be on our side, attacks from them are especially discouraging. But in the grand scheme, they cannot hurt us because God knows the truth.

Sometimes we need to do the attacking. When evil forces come at us, through prayer, speaking forth God’s truth in Scripture, and standing firm in what we know about God, we go on the offense and ATTACK!

Whether we are being attacked or doing the attacking, most of what is happening lies outside of what we can see. Elisha’s servant was frightened about a coming attack and already feeling defeated, but Elisha asked God to let the servant’s physical eyes see the spiritual reality. This is what he saw:

15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh, my lord, what shall we do?” the servant asked.

16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

17 And Elisha prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes so he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Elisha and his servant were surrounded by strong angels! You can read the whole story in 2 Kings 6:8-23.

There will not always be attacks—not even in nature. After the “End Times,” after all evil has been dealt with, Isaiah 11: 6-9 tells us what it will be like:

6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8 The infant will play near the hole of the cobra,
and the young child put his hand into the viper’s nest. 9 They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
as the waters cover the sea.

But for now, we must endure attacks. And sometimes we must do the attacking. Take a look at this video. In this instance, imagine the attacker is evil. How much hurt is really done to the one being attacked? If you can remember this image the next time you’re attacked, you just might be finding God in attacks.

THINK ABOUT IT!

The affect of “choice” can be difficult to deal with and can have a ripple effect through a person’s life or through a family.

AFTER ABORTION MESSAGE BOARD

The report states: “We all know there is no such thing as a free lunch, but the Obama administration has decided to move forward with its mandate that private insurance companies must provide “free” coverage of contraception and sterilization procedures, as well as an abortion pill called “ella”–which is much friendlier sounding than its “close chemical relative” RU-486.”

What this means is that by 2014, when ObamaCare becomes the law of the land (unless the public can elect responsible leaders in 2012 to overturn ObamaCare) we can anticipate free access to abortion pills. Thus, we can expect more women to experience abortion in the next years to come.

Thus the need for after abortion recovery should expand significantly.
