Bible Question: also is it just satan's big lie to make us question what is good? when we try to do better our situation seems to get worse, why? |
Bible Answer: Dear sqkeener1955, satan is and will always try to take advantage of some hard life situations, even when we are doing the right thing, to divert our attention towards God. But also God wants to show Himself to us who He is in such situations. God says in Jer. 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." So you see the danger of our thoughts even when we are doing the right thing. Let's not listen to satan's voice of lies. |
