We live in a spiritual battlefield. As we advance Christ's kingdom, Satan takes notice. I have seen it happen before.
For instance, the outstanding leader of my Heart of a Warrior group took delight in being a father. His son eventually developed a brain tumor and died at the age of seven years and seven months.
The leader of my Focus of a Warrior group got laid off from his job. He was unemployed for nine months and somehow had to manage to continue providing for his wife and four children.
I led two groups (Raising a Modern-Day Knight and Sage Series) to encourage fathers of sons to raise their boys in a godly manner, and I got laid off from my job.
It's really easy to be angry with God when these types of things happen. I believe that there is a spiritual element to this -- Satan is trying to derail us and cause us to lose faith in God. The reality is that these are the times to double down on our faith.
