Is God holding out on us?

Is God holding out on us? Even typing that statement seems rather absurd, yet, isn't that how we live. In the book, Captivating, the authors state that when Eve trusted Satan's promise that, "You won't die. You will become just like God.", that Eve believed God was holding out on her. "Convinced that she could not trust His heart toward her. Convinced that in order to have the best possible life, she must take matters into her own hands. And so she did. We too, having forfeited our own confidence in God, we believe that in order to have the life we want, we have to take matters into our own hands."

Maybe that's not the case for you, but in my life....OH HOW TRUE! I think back to years of anorexia and obsessive exercising...I believed that God somehow messed up when He chose this body for me...He was holding out...and I had to do whatever it took to get the body I "should" have been given.

How many times have I grieved over the fact that I really stink at math, that I can't understand half of the words that come out of my husband's mouth, or that I lose my keys about 20 times a day. How often I ask myself, "Is a stay-at-home mom enough? Should I be doing more?".

What about you? Is there an area of life that you aren't happy with...that God "must" have messed up and you are doing everything in your power to correct?
Why do we act as if God is holding out on us? How foolish and humbled I am to realize just how often my actions reveal this distrust in my Father.

"But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4

"But in fact, God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
1 Corinthians 18-20
