Here's a thing to consider: In track and field, the hurdler's and track officials don't call the hurdles themselves the works of Satan, nor do they call the good fellows who set the hurdles out on the track to impede the runners "little Satans!"
At least, I don't think so. I only tried the hurdles in high school gym class, way back when hurdles were made from boulders and fallen trees. I tripped over every one, but I still finished.
God may have been working in your life all along and you might not be aware of it, just keep a open heart and mind for God to touch your life.
