The problem is, I do get surprised everytime. I think when we are following in God's ways and keeping our eyes on him, we think we are building up some kind of immunity. Of course we are not. In fact, as we grow closer to Jesus, the enemy will attempt to somehow trip us up. It works for a while, but then the truth that is living in me kicks in and I realize that I must be going in the right direction for the enemy to want to attack me. It is still hard to suffer hardships but it is great knowing that I am considered worthy to suffer for Christ!
