2 | resisting temptation | Ps 119:11 | Asis | 86777 | ||
Hello tms57mi Temptation is not sin. It is when we yield to the temptation that we sin. It is when the thought comes (temptation) that the battle begins in your mind. If we continue to think on the thought (temptation) it will blosom into lust for the thought and become sin (James 1:12-18). If we decide not to give in to the thought but rely on God's truth to see us through, we will not give in. God has promised that there is no temptaion that will come on us that is not common to all men. There is no unique temptation. We have all been through them. God says He is faithful, He is trustworthy Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? If He says it, He'll do it. If He said it, it is true. He says He will not allow a temptation to come upon you which you are not capable of handling. If I am tempted to say smoke some weed I know that I must be able to overcome that temptation or God would not have allowed it to come upon me. That is what His word says. God knows that I have the will to choose Him over the temptation. He says He will provide the escape from the temptation. So if I am tempted in any area of my life I KNOW that I am able to endure the temptation because GOD has provided the escape and He has said I AM ABLE to overcome it. This form of trial comes upon us everyday. As we choose God we have an experience that His word is true. That experience leads us to endurance. We got through the temptaion once before, we can get thrpough it again. As we endure we have hope, a confident expectation of a kn own outcome, that at the next rial, temptation, God will be faithfull and by choosing Him we will OVERCOME. Believe God. He said it, it is true I hope that I have helped you to see how to choose God over the temptations that come into our lives. Choose God Let His peace rule in your life ASIS |
