A lot of us make the mistake of trying to validate people’s loyalty to us when we’re going through hard times. But when we’re going through hard times, it’s not about validating other people’s loyalty to us. It’s about God validating our loyalty to Him. Sometimes, God will kick the people crutches right from underneath you in order to show you the validity of your reliance on Him. In other words, don’t consume yourself being upset with human, fleshy, fragile, inconsistent and unpredictable resources when you have the Source–God. And always keep in mind that you are someone else’s resource too.
It’s about focus and intentions. The enemy will always attempt to consume us with what and who’s on the outside in order to pull us away from the God inside of us. And when this happens we fight against flesh and blood. There’s no Holy Ghost power there. We only position ourselves to be yanked around in the flesh by the enemy as he sets us up for our demise. But focusing on the God in us and dealing with things in the Spirit allows the power of God to rule in our circumstances. Even if the process hurts, God will still be glorified and we will still be strengthened.
