All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. (2 Timothy 3:16, NLT)
Last Saturday, my friend made a Facebook post.
"1 Timothy 2:4 says that God desires EVERYBODY be saved. Does God desire something that is against His will? Of course not! IS everybody saved? Unfortunately, and by their own free choice, NO. Then EVERYTHING that happens is NOT God's will, and God's will is NOT always done.#DontBlameGod"
I've been wanting to say this for days but haven't been able to word it this nicely. Thanks LaBreeska Wiseman Patton. Very well put :)

What is God's will for our lives? ALWAYS GOOD
What is the devil's will for lives? ALWAYS BAD
(John 10:10)
When good manifests in our lives, it's God!
When bad manifests in our lives, it's the devil.
(John 10:10)
- God doesn't kill our loved ones.
- God doesn't make us sick or diseased.
- God doesn't starve children.
- God doesn't rob us financially.
(John 10:10)
God loves us so much He sent His own Son to die on the cross for us. God did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all. He will GRACIOUSLY give us ALL things. (John 3:16, Romans 8:32)
Since all the above is true, and is proven by scripture, it simply doesn't make "a lick of sense" for anyone to blame God when something goes wrong. (2 Timothy 3:16, Isaiah 5:20)
It's because of God that we:
- are more than conquerors! (Romans 8:37)
- can do all things! (Philippians 4:13)
- can make the impossible possible! (Mark 9:23)
Father God, I thank You for teaching us about Your wonderful goodness! Thank You for never lying to us! Thank You for your faithfulness! I pray for every reader right now in the name of Jesus and I ask for them to have the discernment and wisdom to refuse to call evil good and good evil! I pray they each see Your wonderful goodness Lord and never be confused about Your good and perfect plan for their lives! Thank You for Your Word Lord God, thank You for loving us so much You correct us, train us, and teach us to do what is right! We give You all the honor, glory, and praise!
