I am often in a bad mood on Wednesdays. I may have blogged about this before. I can’t remember.
Every Wednesday evening I meet with a group of people from my church. We eat a meal together, talk about what was taught in church the Sunday before and then pray together. It’s Christian fellowship and hangout time. It’s fun. It’s encouraging. It’s nice to connect with people from my area.
However, every week I find myself in a foul mood on Wednesdays. I believe it’s because Satan’s trying to get me down and convince me not to go to the gathering. He wants me to stay home and be alone, sulking about my bad day, eating and watching TV.
Satan’s aim for me is to be a sedentary sulker.
God’s will for me is to be a connected Christian.
The greatest dream God has is that His people be unified. It makes perfect sense that Satan would do his best to prevent that from happening.
I’ve often heard it said that opposition from Satan is a good thing. It means I’m doing something right. With these weakly, weekly Wednesdays, I’m convinced that I’m doing God’s will by going to these gatherings. So I’ll persevere through the tiredness, irritability and laziness in pursuit of God’s purpose.
I totally agree! it happens so often… for example, my mum gets super tired every Sunday morning because Satan tries so hard to have her stay home to sleep instead of going to church.
“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:25
