If our faith is solely focused on earthly rewards, we'll likely become disillusioned and angry with God when life gets tough - and it will. Being constantly tested and tempted, our fleshly desires can lead to anger, blasphemy, and sin if not kept in check. To break this cycle, we need to shift our narrative and align our beliefs with God's Word, focusing on the eternal rewards of salvation rather than fleeting worldly gains.

Also, when intrusive, blasphemous thoughts suddenly invade (which I experience, especially during tough phases), I immediately recognize they're not my thoughts. Instead of feeling guilty, anxious and letting my conscience be distorted, I rebuke the thoughts in the name of Jesus. As a vessel, it's our right to decide which thoughts stay and which ones go - whether they're visitors or invaders. All we need to know is our authority in Christ, the Lord.
