“Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction” (1 Timothy 6:9).
The greatest thing satan aims at in tempting good people is to overthrow their position as children of God. One of the satanic strategies is to get you to doubt God’s goodness. Satan tries to get you to forget all God has given you and wants you to focus on what you do not have because when you are spending much of your time thinking about what you do not have, you may find yourself slipping into unhealthy doubt.
Doubt comes when we fail to remember what the Lord has done for us and concentrate on what we do not have. “Lord, give me this, give me that…” but what about those things God has already given you?
We are mere instruments in the hands of God and when we see ourselves clearly in the light of God’s Word, we will realize that we do not deserve anything and will therefore be grateful for anything we receive from Him.
God knows our needs and heart’s desires. God’s time is the best. Be patient and let God answer your questions on His schedule not yours.
