If the devil throws at me all kinds of things to tempt me and wont stop at anything to distract me, God must have a really great plan in store for my life.
Think about it. The devil wouldn't be so diligent about distracting us if God had some boring plan for our lives.
In fact, if this were the case, here is what life would look like: If God's plan were boring, the devil would simply allow us to seek after God until we see that God is completely overrated. We would see that God is ten times worse than a retirement home and eventually tell God to screw off. Satan could relax and play around in Hell while all of mankind would join him after evaluating God's brilliantly boring plan.
As you probably know, this is not the life that we live. No, no, no, in fact,
Satan probably carries more stress on him than a single man going through a midlife crisis who just got fired from a job that he's had for over 30 years along with the responsibility of providing for 8 kids (2 in college, 3 in high school, 2 in jr. high, and 1 in kindergarten), 9 cats, 2 dogs, 4 horses, 3 pigs, 2 donkeys and a penguin. He also just found out that he's been diagnosed with cancer and has AIDS.
That's a lot of stress, and Satan is definitely not relaxing in Hell right now. He is working hard to get you to say no to God's incredible plan for your life. Don't fall into the devils trap. Say yes to God; it's without a doubt worth it.
