When something goes wrong in our lives, we all tend to first find a problem to blame the people closest to us.

Sometimes that may be true.

But for Christian families genuinely seeking to follow Jesus, we are not each other’s enemy.

The enemy satan is.

He is more than anything else a deceiver, creating illusions of diversion from the real issues.

Illusions lead to delusions, and we fight each other.

And often the reality is that we’re getting attacked primarily because we’re doing something right that displeases the devil.

So for the Christian couple experiencing difficulty, try first discussing together what good you are seeking in God’s will that is drawing fierce enemy fire.

Pray together against the devil, and thank God for what is right, before trying to figure out what’s wrong.
