More from, A Jewel in His Crown, by Priscilla Shirer
"You see, the devil knows that if he can get you to strive for something that is not ordained for you, then inevitably you will not get it. When you don't get it, you will automatically think that there is something wrong with you. In actuality there is nothing wrong with you; it's just that the thing you are striving for is not something that God has called you to do, to be, or to have!"
"We want to have men who are not right for us. We want a job that is not meant for us. We want possessions that aren't appropriate for us. When we don't get these things, we are emotionally distraught, and this is exactly what satan wants. When we lose sight of Christ and put our sights on what we cannot have, we begin the process of being removed from the garden. When we want something that is not meant for us, we are distracted from those things that God wants us to have. Our goal must be to hear God's voice and trust Him to lead us. No matter what we want to do, to be, or to have, we must trust that He knows what is best for us."
