Satan's purpose is to cause people to sin and separate them from God…

Satan 👿...
His purpose is to lead people to sin through trials and temptations... 😨
And to separate them from God.

...When God trials Christians... 🤔
The trials exist to make Christians who have strayed from God repent... and restore their faith!

...Trials are an inevitable part of our lives 😓.

Even someone who appears to be sailing smoothly from the outside 🧐
Maybe they are in the midst of a trial within themselves.

...Abraham had Isaac, the boy God promised him.

...God gave Abraham a very great trial... 😨... to decide whether to prioritize his own child 🤔❓️
Or to prioritize God...

✳️...I think I would have had a huge fight with God 😅.

So, I suppose he was just an ordinary Christian, but
God tested Abraham to make him the father of faith!
...The result...you all know it!
...It's strange, but sometimes we feel like we're losing out because we prioritize God...
...The opposite is true.
For those who prioritize God,
"The Lord's mountain has provisions!"
When you experience this firsthand...it becomes a living faith!
...God has prepared many things for you as well.
...Matthew 6:33.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you as well."

Shalom 😃
