Why is it...

Why is it when things go wrong, people automatically assume that "the enemy" is trying to get in on the action? Why can't we think that maybe God is trying to teach us to rely on Him or something uber-spiritual like that?

This past weekend our powerpoint/DVD/everything important to a video venue wasn't working at the Club (the video venue that I lead music at for Cornwall Church). We had to do the unthinkable and worship God through song but without words, we had spontaneous prayers and also a message that was put together 10 minutes before our Pastor went on. I mean for this to be dripping with sarcasm because this weekend was probably one of the most God centered and focused moments in my life as a leader. Maybe God was trying to teach us that we didn't need technology 2000 years ago to share His message and we don't need it now (but I still love technology). Maybe this was God trying to introduce our new Pastor in a better way then him giving announcements and instead God used him to teach and tell about how God moved back in the day and continues to move today.

So why is it that we continue to blame Satan for things happening when in the end it all focuses back on God; the reason we are there in the first place. Maybe we give Satan too much credit, or maybe it's just easier to think that when something goes differently than we expect that it's more evil than good. I think that our culture is so quick to look at the negatives of the situation that we forget all of the possibilities of what can happen when we put God as the focus and let the Holy Spirit control the service.
