Distractions

We had an “interesting” experience one year at a retreat.  We were in our assigned meeting room in the hotel.  A large wedding was also being hosted  in another banquet room.  Unfortunately, the liquor cabinet was located in our meeting room, and hotel personnel were coming in during the evening to get more liquor.  Apparently, they had seriously miscalculated the amount of wine/liquor that the wedding would require.  Talk about a distraction!  Obviously, our enemy at work.  Lesson learned:  Before and during the retreat, be praying against distractions of the enemy!  He can use just about anything or anyone to distract women from hearing God’s message.
