Sometimes things occur in life that rattle us and take us off course (or so it appears).

In our quest to better ourselves, we sometimes allow the wrong people or the wrong connections to occur, which delays our purpose.

Perhaps this sounds like you.

• You thought that you were making the right business decision.
• You thought that person would be a life-long friend that you opened your heart to.
• You thought the relationship would transition into until death do us part.

Regardless of what comes up against you, YOU have the power to control the end result. It’s okay if your kindness was mistaken for weakness. It was not faith that you were taken advantage of, but that’s okay.

The end result of the matter is that you WIN!

John 6:70-71 (NKJV) Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.

Jesus chose a devil to show you that the enemy cannot stop you. Just as Jesus used the enemy’s scheme to fulfill His ultimate purpose, the Lord will use the enemy’s ploy against you to fulfill His purpose through you.

Romans 8:28 (NKJV) And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Yeah, it looks bad; it feels horrible, but wait until you see what God does with this situation. 

Don’t worry about the Judas in your life. Let him/her go. Their evil deed will produce God’s plan. Do as Jesus did (John 13:27); tell them: Hurry up, do what you gone do so I can reach my destiny on time.”
