Often we all strive to do something (good); anything in this case, let's say, "make widgets".  Often we try and despite our best efforts, we are not be able to achieve that objective.  How does one know when it is God trying to intervene on behalf of the individual and save him or her from themselves because quite possibly they are not ready for it?  How does one know when it is simply the devil sabotaging the good intentions and ambition to do something good?

I know the simple answer is "listen to God"; I've heard that.  As a matter of fact, that's all I've heard.  Maybe some of the more spiritually mature people have forgotten what it's like to be young in their walk with God.  Maybe they think it's a stupid question and that if I was "right with God", I'd know already. 

I just want to know:  Is it God saving someone or the devil sabotaging them?
