First the Mountaintop....Next the Valley

Finds it very frustrating that Satan always attacks when you are most on fire for God. Those mountain top experiences are always quickly followed by the valley.

This past weekend with the Easter celebrations was so great and I felt the spirit within. Today, I can't seem to fight a really terrible mood. It seems like every little thing frustrates me and just makes me want to scream.

I was so excited last night to come back to work and let his light shine through me. Today, I just want everyone to go away and leave me alone and in peace.

Yesterday, a joyous emotion was hard pressed to stay inside. Today, words of hurt and anger struggle to stay inside.

I have been reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis for my small group with The Point at IBC. It definitely seems that when you are most at peace with God and your life and ready to do good things that you are under the most attack. So I know these things...I know that this is how the life of a Christian will be. I know that the attacks I receive and the suffereing I at time feel compares nothing to that of what Jesus endured. Why then must I let it frustrate me so much and allow it to actually get to me???
