Is It a Sign from God or the Devil?

Social media is wild, isn’t it? One day, someone is your fave for their cute fashion hauls and relatable vibes; the next, their personal life becomes an internet case study. So, there’s this LA girlie who built her platform off her impeccable style and bubbly energy. She was thriving, glowing, and everything seemed like it was falling into place especially when she introduced the boyfriend.

Almost instantly, the public wasn’t here for it though. People were side-eying him like, “Sis, is he really the one?” But, of course, the couple chalked it up to envy. They doubled down, sharing their highs, their struggles with miscarriages, and their picture perfect love story. Fast-forward a bit, and boom, they break up. Then, as if the story couldn’t twist any further, photos dropped of him sexually engaging with another man.

Whew. Friend, let’s unpack this and tie it into knowing whether something is a sign from God or a memo from the Devil.

1. When the Red Flags Are Loud, Listen

Sometimes, people in your life will see things you can’t. Call it intuition, discernment, or just plain old common sense. I personally don’t think the public wasn’t hating just to hate, I think they saw what she might not have: something about him didn’t align with her glow. He gives car salesman energy.

God will often send signs through people, but the Devil? Oh, he’ll distract you with charm, words, and what looks good on paper. If you ever feel like you’re constantly defending someone to others and yourself, that might be your sign.

2. Confusion Is the Devil’s Playground

This situation screams confusion from start to finish. First, they thought the world was envious of their love. Then, they shared personal struggles, trying to validate something that maybe didn’t need to be public in the first place. And finally, the shocking reveal about his double life.

God isn’t about confusion. He’s about clarity. If a relationship feels like a constant battle to prove its worth, it’s worth asking: Is this God’s best for me, or is this a distraction from the dark?

3. Painful Breaks Can Be Divine Redirections

Sometimes, what feels like devastation is really God stepping in to save you from something worse. And sometimes in our darkest hours we think God is punishing us when he’s protecting us. Her breakup might feel like the end, but from a spiritual lens, it could be God saying, “You’ve gone as far as I’ll let you go here.”

The Devil, on the other hand, will try to keep you stuck friend, whether through shame, guilt, or fear of starting over. But God always uses broken pieces to build something stronger, even if it doesn’t feel that way at first.

4. Publicity Can Be a Test of Pride

Sharing everything, especially your struggles can sometimes be more about validation than vulnerability. The Devil loves to use our pride against us, making us think we need to prove something to the world.

God’s signs often encourage quiet growth. Move In Silence because sometimes the loudest moments of clarity come when you stop explaining yourself and start listening to Him.

5. When the Mask Falls Off, Believe It

That reveal about her ex? A memo with bold lettering. When someone shows you their true self, it’s not just coincidence. It’s clarity. God doesn’t always give us the why, but He always reveals the truth in due time. The Devil, meanwhile, will have you second-guessing what’s right in front of your face, whispering, “Maybe it’s not as bad as it looks.”

Final Thoughts

Watching someone you admire go through heartbreak and public embarrassment isn’t easy. But there’s a lesson in it for all of us: not everything that glitters is gold, and not every relationship is God-ordained. Sometimes, it’s a lesson in discernment, healing, and learning to trust that God has better plans.

To the girl in the story: sis, we’ve all been there in some way, and your glow-up is still coming. To everyone else watching? Let this be a reminder to trust God’s voice, even when it’s hard, and to pray for clarity when the signs feel confusing.

The Devil might send memos, but God always sends the truth if you’re willing to see it. If you’ve made it this far, you’re a real one.
