Trouble in Paradise

[Dayna Marcum]

When the Lord sets you on a path, there are no promises it will be easy. Especially when dealing with technology. Is anyone at all astounded by the amount of energy we spend fixing, getting frustrated with, and ultimately blaming the technology behind something? The fact is, if the enemy can't use our attitudes, our mouths, a guilt trip or our past to hinder Gods children, he'll use something we have no "control" over, technology. However, it's really God's technology, and He will prevail. So many times we blame the thing that's not a person for what seems to be a problem or issue. When, in fact, the way it turned out is exactly how it was supposed to happen---so then where's the blame? There isn't any. Blame is a tool that the devil uses to break down God's chosen ones. We know there's no condemnation in Christ, and because of that others can place the blame on us and we aren't affected in the least....isn't that wonderful? Yes it isn't pleasant to be targeted as "doing good out of motives" but man isn't our judge, only He knows our thoughts and our hearts. All else is meaningless, if I answer to my audience of One. I'm saying all of this because we had some very interesting lessons learned on the last production of Good Business. All is well and it will turn out beautiful. We were able to laugh in the face of adversity, overcome the weather and learn a lot about working with one another, the guests and the extras. We are so blessed to have provided a platform that gave Kingdom followers hope that they didn't have to choose between secular and Christian life. God gave this platform for His people to thrive and give their ideas, thoughts, talents and advice to others. Three words: Thank You Jesus.
