Are you confused about the economy? You should be. On the front page of today’s financial section, a bold headline declared: “Job Market Expected to Expand.” Then on page two, another bold headline shouted: “Worries about More Job Layoffs.” There you have it: one day, unemployment is coming down more slowly than expected, and the next, the pace appears to be quickening. Confusion reigns!
But, our “God is not a God of confusion, but of peace” (1 Corinthians 14:33). Confusion comes of the devil, because there is no truth in him. He is a liar, and will always try to confuse, deceive, and mislead us. We must be alert to his strategy. You can be sure that in this financially worrisome season, Satan is working overtime to get us to focus on troubling situations, so to keep us from remembering that God is greater than our circumstances, and forgetting Jesus’ words: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
In these confusing times, you can be sure that there is no unemployment among Satan and his minions. Yes, they are fully employed in stirring up confusion and unbelief. Let us, therefore, make it our occupation to be fully employed in things above (Col. 3:2).
