'Good and upright is the Lord'. That was how the psalmist saw it in chapter 25 verse 8. Eve never thought of that when she engaged in careless conversation with the serpent. 'How could God have kept this secret from us.? Why can't He tell us that there is a difference between good and evil? Are we not entitled to know the power of the fruit to make us live forever so that we can make our choice?' Oh! I doubt if He really loves us. He never mentioned all these things since He has been visiting. I think we could trust this our new friend for being frank and honest'. She must have battled with these thoughts in her mind as she spoke quietly with the serpent.
Circumstances of life and things we don't understand make us to doubt the goodness of God in our lives. Doubting His goodness and faithfulness open the door for the devil to tempt us into denying God. By so doing, make more mistakes and go deep into great trouble and confusion.
You can overcome this temptation by simply looking at the cross. We may not understand many things but we know for sure that Christ paid the supreme price for our sins on the cross to redeem us and bring us to God. That is the greatest demonstration of God's goodness to us.
