When starting a new work at home business it is very easy to become consumed by it. We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation.

And we know what? And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 Evidently, we are suppose to 'know' that all things work together for our good ... all things. So, do we 'know'? Do we really know? It is to our advantage to look for the silver lining, to not give Satan so much credit, to faithfully watch for God to transform a negative situation into something good. And, when we watch for Him, most of the time, we come to 'know' His purpose. Therefore, perhaps, before we can know God has it covered, we have to see Him working and, before we can see Him, we first need to be watching. By whatever name we call it; fear, worry, and anxiety does not come from God. While we can not always control the fact that spiritual warfare hits us like a 2x4, we can request God's help in giving Him honor, in even our thoughts and emotions (in spite of circumstance), by asking Him to remove our negative feelings. And, that is easier to do once we realize, no matter how we feel, it is only a feeling. God is still on His throne. So, it can not be true about who God is. But, beyond that, we can also take personal responsibility for our part. We opened the door for Satan to attack our emotions, not him or anyone else. It originated the moment we believed a lie. How many ways do we call God a liar ... He can't, He won't, or that nothing good can ever happen to us? If nothing is too hard for God, then why do we believe our problem is? When we can't seem to find our rightful place with God, do we blame Him? Or, do we believe what Jesus said? Once we 'know' the truth, it will set us free. John 8:32. Perhaps we beg and plead, or command and demand, for what is already rightfully ours; when we could be moving mountains, if only we didn't place more than a grain of faith in our part. Maybe we are not ready to jump spiritual hurdles. Though, we might try starting where we are, watching for God. When attacks come, it is quite helpful to remember that it is a lie. The fear element of the situation will always be based upon a lie. Immediately, begin seeking God for the needed truth that will overcome this particular warfare. As truth is revealed, light replaces darkness and Satan flees. Oh, what relief! Once we begin experiencing that relief, we will want to pick up our Bible and look further. There are promises and provisions given, all over, to let us know our rightful place with God! What an awesome provision God has given! Truth: a victorious weapon against spiritual warfare! It sets us free! And, once we experience such freedom, we begin to realize and finally 'know' that all things work together for our good (to us that love God, to us who are called), according to his purpose; no exceptions. Isn't it about time we get to 'know' God? © 2004 by Joyce C. Lock (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
