God can give us things and He also can take away. Even though this happens we should not give up or turn away form God. The things we have on this earth are worldly possessions, they cannot get us to heaven or go with us. Even though God gives and takes, satan also sends someone along to try to get us to give up. We are not to listen to these things because that is what satan wants. Still we are to hold on to God and take the good with the bad. Our rewards will be even greater in heaven if we stand our ground with God. Don't let satan put foolish things in our minds or hearts. God created us and He is not going to let satan have us if we just lean on Him. God is our Rock and satan is quick sand. If you walk with the Lord you will have firm ground to walk on, as far as satan, we all know that if we walk with him you sink to measures beyond return unless you call upon the name of the Lord. Secondly that is what satan wants is for us to sink to his level, but with God on our side we will never lose (Matt. 16:26) . So please when bad things happen look up to the Lord our God for help. Don't just take it sitting down, stand up to satan and show him who is the boss (God). Remember God gives just as well as takes away, but it will all work for our good in the end, and in heaven.
