The Sun Still Shines When it Rains

Last Tuesday I was in a car accident -- slammed right in the back of a truck. I was upset at my carelessness, but someone set me straight. "A lady was killed right by here Sunday in a car accident. You should be glad to be alive," they said.
Wednesday at work I wrote a story about two men who were being awarded for rescuing their neighbor. He left some food on the stove and his house caught on fire. Two days later, my roommate left something cooking on the stove all night long. Luckily, another roommate woke up at like 6 a.m. and turned it off.
I have people in my line of social affiliations who mean me no good. People who threaten me regularly and 'pray and pray for my downfall.' Some people say they have 'haters,' but I truly have people who don't even know me, yet go out of their way to avenge a wrong I haven't even done by them. Doesn't make sense? It's not supposed to.
I'm reminded that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places.
There is such a thing as evil. There is such a thing as an Enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy - your mind, your peace, your happiness, your success, your health...whatever. But I can still say, "Thank you, Lord." God can show you in the middle of your toughest test that He is still in your corner.
