What do you do when Satan hinders your most simply tasks? 1 Thessalonians 1-3

1 Thessalonians 2:17-18
But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short while—in person, not in spirit—were all the more eager with great desire to see your face. For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, more than once—and yet Satan hindered us.

The book of First Thessalonians is full of instruction and encouragement of the believers in Thessalonica.   But, it also contains some of the most valuable insight in regard to the apostle and those he lead to Christ.   Paul loved these people.   He found them to be his reward ... their continuing and growing love, bused upon their sure and established faith.   Paul so much wanted to see them and, according to Timothy, who Paul sent to them, they wanted to see him.   Here we have two believing entities who wanted something good to happen ... mutual fellowship.   Yet, Satan did what he could do to hinder them from such a basic and for granted activity.    Of course, Satan knew that if Paul went to them He would continue to grow their faith and that was something he would always want to stop.    We seldom remember the work of Satan in the lives of believers.   Satan can't touch us, but he can prevent us.   Satan can't control us, but he can control the world around us (at God's permission) and that will stop us from doing some of the most basic, yet assuring tasks in the faith, even simply fellowship.    Satan wants our lives to be solitaire and lonely.     God wants us to trust Him through it all and allow Him to remove those hinderances.   Paul couldn't go, so he sent Timothy.   The accomplished goal was still made, as Timothy strengthened their faith.  Satan can try to stop God's work, but at best he can only slow it or delay it.  He can't prevent it.  When we want to do something good for God we just have to remember that Satan will try to stop us.   Through faith we persevere to grow our faith.
