Don't Blame Satan!

Recently, I am seeing and hearing so much about looking at the positive and not the negative - which is good. So let's quit giving the devil credit for messing up our lives, and start praising God for allowing the amount of trouble in our lives that it takes to for us to grow into a deeper relationship with Him!

After all, God has sufficient power to block all of the attacks of the enemy in our lives. It's not a lack of power. Some might think, “So He must not care about Satan beating me up.” This is a lie from the devil!

So if God really does have the power, and does love and care enough about us to keep us out of harm's way, then why doesn't He?

Because He loves us enough not to! He knows that if we didn’t have trouble and hardships in our lives, we would seldom seek Him. Not to mention that many of those terrible things that happen to us are a direct result of our own choice to listen to the voice of our enemy, and do things our way instead of being obedient to the instructions that He gave us.

He really does love us that much! It is a depth of love that many will never understand, because they choose to not seek Him and praise Him in the midst of their trouble.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”

Psalms 23:4
