Many times, we want to know who or what is to blame for the terrible things that happen in life.
Some people are frequently heard to say something like, “If God is supposed to love me,
why did He allow such-and-such to happen to me?”
There are two bits of truth about God
which you must understand: First, that God does love you unconditionally
– that is, His love is always reaching out to you no matter what your attitude is towards Him.
Second, when you were born, He gave you a Guardian Angel to look out for His
interests in your life. (Matthew 18 : 10)
The other thing you need to know is that
you do have an enemy, Satan, who has assigned to your life his equivalent of a Guardian
Angel. This being is called a Strong Man. This Strong Man is the one responsible for the
terrible happenings for which you may be blaming God.
This is what
Jesus said about him in Luke 11 : 21 & 22:
“When a Strong Man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are
in peace. But when a Stronger that he comes upon him and overcomes him, He takes from
him all his armour in which he trusted, and divides his spoils (plunder).”
Before you know Jesus as your Saviour, your life is the
palace that the Strong Man
keeps under his power.
