[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]God does not bring you misery,[/b] so he most certainly is not going to give you 'just enough' of it 
I hate that saying.
I think it is most often a perversion (for lack of a better word ) of 2 Corinthians 12:9 
9 " But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

Tell that to Job.[/quote]

[b]1) God allowed Satan to do that -- God did not do it[/b]

2) That was the old Testament -- when we were under the curse -- After Christ - we are under the Blood
    that was why Christ was sent. 
    God says 'never to turn my face to you in wrath again[/quote]

And pray, where did Satan come from?[/quote]Without being disrespectful, have you ever read the bible with the description of the battle in the heavens with Lucifer and God?  Lucifer was the most beautiful and awesome of angels until he decided he was bigger and badder than the One who created him.

Isaiah 14:12-15
The Fall of Lucifer

12 “How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer,[a] son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.[/quote]

Of course. But God is all powerful and all knowing. So he knew, when he created Lucifer, what would happen. Just as he knew, when he created Eve, what would happen. If God did not want evil in the world, he should never have created a tree of knowledge of good and evil in the first place.[/quote]
I never lean on my own understanding which is why I lean on scripture.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

Most of us have a desperate desire to understand, but in so many areas we must acknowledge that we cannot understand. We must approve of God’s ways, even when we can’t comprehend them. Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us why we often don't understand what God is doing: "'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' declares the Lord. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.'" God sees the whole picture, while we only see our tiny corner of it. To trust in the Lord with all our heart means we can't place our own right to understand above His right to direct our lives the way He sees fit. When we insist on God always making sense to our [b]finite minds,[/b] we are setting ourselves up for spiritual trouble.
