Keep in mind that it may not seem deliberate on the surface. Therefore, you need God's wisdom to help you see the true motivation of your heart. If it is not in alignment with God's Word, then you are off track. The enemy always camouflages his detour, so you will be tempted to choose it over the will of God. When you do this, you are denied God's best and delayed in fulfilling His will for your life.
Detours create disharmony.
W rong decisions can create conflict among family, friends, or co-workers. Sarah's plot to have a child through Hagar brought heart-wrenching results. You can say no to the enemy's detours by building a good spiritual defense. Learn to depend more on Jesus Christ and less on your own ability. It's easy to think you are strong enough to withstand the temptations of the enemy.
