An unbroken fellowship with God ensures confidence today and in the years ahead. Offense is Satan’s chief tool to attempt to jar you away from the source of all light and truth. Jesus taught much about steering clear of offense. Be on the alert and be very cautious here. God’s word never change’s, That mean God never changes. Remember the Matador and the red cape? If Satan can get you to believe that others are your problem, and maybe even God, then you will strike out in the wrong manner and be left helpless against the ravages of evil. But remember the former days in which you held highly the light of scripture concerning the knowledge of persecutions and afflictions, and double back into the safety and the sanctity of the arms of God. Ever aware that regardless of the form of persecution, you are more than a conqueror through Christ that loved you.
Mark 4: 16,17

16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
