It is easy for us to confess God when times are good, but when times are bad, will we still confess Him or will we curse Him? Will we become like the Devil, to blame God for all the bad things and bad times in life? If we do this without feeling guilty at all, and we keep doing it, finding fault with God, doubting Him and denying Him, it might just reveal that we have not been born again, not saved in the first place; God is not our Father, and we are not His children. We may claim to be Christians, but we are hypocrites, no different from the scribes and Pharisees, who have “a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof” (2 Tim 3:5). That was why Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees with these words, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44).
Dear friends, let us never become and behave like the Devil. Only and always believe that God is holy, and good, and just, and righteous, and no matter what, this one thing is true—God can do no wrong. As Romans 3:4 says, “let God be true, but every man a liar.” Are you a good confessor of Christ or are you a false accuser like the Devil? May we always speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. May God help us!
