“How long, Lord, must this go on?”
“Why did God allow this to happen?”
“God must have His reasons.”
The questions. The frustrations. They go on and on and on.
And we always direct them towards God.
But, I have to wonder… are we pointing our fingers in the wrong direction?
Maybe we should be pointing our fingers at Satan instead.
Maybe it’s SATAN who caused this to happen to you. Maybe it’s SATAN who aimed his fiery dart your way. Maybe it’s SATAN who is hindering you.
Not God.
We blame God for so much. And we blame Him quickly and easily. And yes, He could come in and rescue us… and often, He does. Many times, probably without us even realizing it.
But it’s our own sinful choices. Our selfish world. And an evil one who gets great delight out of our sorrow, our emptiness, and our anger towards the Lord.
God does not ever intend to harm us.
God LOVES us. Satan, on the other hand, does not.
The world scoffs and laughs so easily at our “God.” But how many forget the devil in that equation? He is just as real.
And he is busy at work.
The next time you are tempted to point your finger towards the Lord and ask, “why?” Think first. And see if maybe you shouldn’t be grabbing your warrior suit - as you look in another direction.
