This was super encouraging and included a lot of wise gemstones worth reflecting upon, which I intend to do concerning a few situations in my own life. Thank you for sharing it!
I sometimes bristle when someone says they overslept, so it must be spiritual warfare. "Or maybe you were just exhausted?"
I am more like our small group leader who confessed he was too often a co-conspirator with Satan. Whether it is the enemy or my own fleshly desires asserting their will, it's a perfect time to take note and ask the Holy Spirit for discernment, strength, and the will to obey. Because here's the thing - I too seldom ask the Spirit for just that unless I'm facing that friction!
I haven't gotten to the point where I rejoice in trials, but I am making progress stopping and thanking God for being with me and helping me see what he's up to when those trials show up.
