Okay I know you guys are probably like, "That Rob is out of his mind" when you read this title.  LOL! But this was truly amazing that God showed me this.  Yesterday after church Marlas and I went out to eat and as we were sitting down eating there was this fly that would come around, land on the table, then try to walk toward our food, then land on it while we were sitting there! The nerve of that little thing! He tried to take our food right from under our noses even though he would probably have died if we had a fly swatter! LOL!

Here's the thing: When you go after God, do you continue to go hard no matter what the devil tries to do to you? When he slaps you hard do you stop reading your Word?  When he sends a fellow church member to treat you wrong do you stop attending your church or any church for that matter? When a loved one passes away when you were praying to God for their healing do you stop praying?

You see we have to be like a fly when we seek God.  We have to be relentless about our prayer time and devotionals, our bible reading times, and our time for fellowship at church with other believers.  You see it doesnt' matter to me how many times the devil swats at me I am NEVER going to stop seeking God!!  I don't have the luxury of sitting back, angry at God because someone close to me passed away. People die. And I promise you if Jesus delays His coming, you will die eventually.  We all die. So why would we spend time being angry at the one God who can bring us peace during that time? I don't get it! Seriously, I don't! 

Don't let anything take you off your path when you're seeking God and His plan for your life.  That fly on our table was on a mission with blinders on.  He was going to do whatever he had to do to get our food, even to the point of death! What would happen in our lives if we chased after God like that? Continually seeking and coming back after being hit like the devil. Even to the point of death.  When we seek after God with a true heart, we will see God operate in our lives and we will be able to reach others for Christ! After all, it's not about us, but who God can bless through us.

God bless you!
