Hi Friends,
When trouble comes or something that we wish does not happen we tend to blame God. Sometimes knowing that God cannot be blamed we take the blame that it is for our sins that God has punished us. Even the Israelites did the same thing after seeing Canaan. All they said was “Our God has forgotten us”. Instead of looking at Jesus, they saw their troubles.
“You grumbled in your tents and said “The Lord hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us.” Deutronomy 1:27
We know satan is liar. But many times we too are deceived blaming us instead of rejoicing in Christ.
“Devil is a liar and father of lies” John 8:44
How to overcome this Satans trap? Only by the Word Of God. Satan too will quote scriptures. But only if we know more of the Bible and the revelation of who our God is and who we are in Christ we can overcome this. When faith goes down or when doubt arises spend more time on the word of God. The word of God is a double edged sword. The word of God clearly says that when we confess our sins He forgives and forgets them. God does everything beautiful in His time. God loves us. “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. God is in control of our lives. Let us not live in pit of sorrow but be glad for we serve a Loving Father and a powerful God.
“Praise the Lord , my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases”. Psalm 103:3,4
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace , who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while , will himself restore you and make you strong firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1Peter 5:8-10
