This title was my Facebook status for quite some time - and it's true. Many people blame God for the hardships in their lives, saying, "why would God do this to me?" We must realize this is not God causing problems in our life! He is not sitting on a throne thinking, "oh how can I make Joe Schmoe's life miserable this year?" NO! The bad things in our life are Satan tempting us. Whether it's a terrible medical illness in the family, losing your job, losing a child or parent, or just someone poking fun at you or your life, this is all Satan. He is trying to tempt us away from God. I know several people, wonderful people, who believe in God but refuse to turn to Him or have anything to do with Him because they are mad at Him for one reason or another. But I wish I could just fuse my knowledge of God with those people and show them that God is our refuge in these times! We once sang a song in my school choir based on Psalm 46 that went somewhere along the lines of, "God is our refuge and strength; a present help in time of trouble. Though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea, though the waters roar and foam, we will not fear." I love this song! Because it's so true. We should never fear in times of trouble because we have the Almighty Creator on our side. I know I would much rather have the Creators of the heavens and the Earth on my side than all of the humans in the world. Because God is the only one who can defeat Satan. We can't do it on our own; we must turn to God to defeat the devil in our lives. I pray that people will stop blaming God for the problems in their lives and will rely on Him instead! For that will be a glorious day on Earth.
God Bless!
