Everyone will at some point be there! 'No matter what happens, I will still trust Him!" The only other option is to turn away from Him!
And that is not a choice, for He IS all there IS!
The enemy is waiting for you to be disappointed enough, (when God doesn't answer your pray like you want Him to), to tell you God let you down!
The enemy is a liar and wants your soul! He wants you to turn your back on God not because he has anything better to offer, but because he knows that God loves you, and he is out to hurt God!
What is really amazing to me is that after turning our back on God and living like the devil, He will extend His mercy and grace and welcome us back when we turn from our wicked ways and repent!
Running from God does not work, for He is always there! Just in case we change our mind!
"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there."(Psalms 139:7-8 NKJV)
The devil will tell you you have gone too far! That you have crossed the line when you accuse God of not being powerful enough to answer your prayer; to heal the loved one, to bring back your child, to save your marriage, etc! The enemy will always lie to you, that is what he does! He accuses you, your friend, your spouse, your employer, your God! If the voice you are listening to, accuses anyone especially yourself, know that the truth IS the opposite! If he says God doesn't love you, you can take it to the bank that God indeed DOES! If he tells you that you don't have to do something, then you best DO it!!!
For example, I have found when I have sinned and my heart convicts me, and the devil says, 'oh you are okay - you don't have to call and confess it,' I BEST PICK UP THE PHONE and confess and repent!!! If I hear a voice telling me, 'you're okay', I KNOW I'm NOT!
The only thing in this life that truly matters is our relationship with God! Our life is not about what we acquire, it's about eternity and everything we do or not do, will impact where we spend it after death! We can not earn salvation for it is a free gift from God, however we do have a part and that is overcoming the trials set before us, and finishing the race to the end! The choice is to go on and draw closer to The LORD, or turn away and follow the lusts of the flesh! The easy path or the hard path!
Oh and don't think for a second the easy path is easy, THAT is also a lie! Walking with the devil is hell on earth AND for eternity!
Again this life is not about here and now! And no matter how hard we try to live, we all will die!
There is an old saying "we don't get out of this life alive!"
However, that is also a lie! For we will all live after death! The soul does not die and we will be either be forever present with The LORD OR in eternal torment with the devil!
"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment," (Hebrews 9:27 NKJV)
And we will not escape the judgment! The voice that's says that "THAT is a lie" is lying to you!
Bottom line: time is running out for all of us! No one knows when we will die, we just know we will!
Please, please, please repent while there is still time!
Even so - MARANATHA!
