Unfairly Tormented

As Christians in America we feel guilty if we are not accomplishing great things for God. Yet extremely few have noticeable ministries where their names are familiar to the secular or Christian community. We continue our lives doing small things here and there and wonder how we could do more for God, but feel either inadequate or have no idea what to do for God. Others attempt to have a wide spread ministry and feel condemned when their attempts do not meet their expectations.

In light of this interal struggle, it is interesting to read Paul's instructions for us to pray that "we may lead a peaceful and quiet life," (1 Timothy 2:2). Notice the next sentence "This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior..." (1 Timothy 2:3).

If God has granted you peace and quiet, do not allow Satan to torment you. Be thankful,
