Oh yeah. Of course I always see things from two different angles. The human side, which is generally a result of the unseen things going on in the spiritual side. Fortunately, this keeps me from despairing. I am well aware 'they' can hurt my body but not my soul. Even if it does get worse before it gets better it's all going according to plan. Where demons trip themselves up is arrogant belief that they are gods. Oldest lie in the history of ever.
Yep. That pesky thing about free will is closely related to what Oswald Chambers defined as God having a 'perfect' will and a 'permissive' will, which means we are like toddlers who want what we want when we want it so sometimes God lets us have it our way. Sometimes we learn from the experience and reset our will to His and sometimes we fuss about why people claim God is good when bad things happen, never seeing our contribution to the problem. It's a deep and wide topic for sure.
Which is another reason for them to disavow the existence of a Supreme Being; gets in the way of the script. "Be a remnant." Amen!

Meemanator, I too keep from despair by knowing that the spiritual side is always in charge, and yet our free will can trip up the plan.
