Stop Giving Satan All the Credit: Sometimes the Problem Is Us

A Christian wake-up call about spiritual warfare, personal responsibility, and the power of a renewed mind.

“IS IT THE DEVIL—or IS IT YOU?”: Part 1 – Part 2 – Part 3 – Part 4 – Part 5

Part 2. Stop Rebuking What God Is Trying to Teach You

Consider the children of Israel in the wilderness. They faced genuine hardships, but their journey also exposed their unbelief, impatience, and disobedience. Their circumstances revealed what was happening in their hearts.

Sometimes we pray for God to remove the pressure when He wants to develop our character through it. James 1:2–4 teaches that the testing of our faith produces perseverance. That doesn’t mean every painful experience was sent by God, or that suffering should be ignored. It means God can work in us even when life is difficult.

Before declaring that every obstacle is an attack, perhaps we should pray:

“Lord, what do I need to learn? What needs to change in me? Is there something I’m refusing to surrender to You?”

Those questions may lead to more spiritual growth than blaming the devil ever will.
