This lesson, In the Middle of it All, we learn, the enemy has an agenda.  He wants to destroy those who call on the name of the Lord.  The enemy wants to take away the things that are most important in life. For years we have been taught that this creature called the Devil, has the ability to impose certain things on our lives.  We have held that any bad thing that happens in life is a direct result of what the devil is doing to us. The devil receives way too much credit and God receives far to little glory. There is a plan that is at work in the life of a child of God.
