My prayer for you for today is that you will resist
temptation so that you will receive the crown of life that God promised, in
Jesus name.
James
1:12-15
God
blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will
receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. And
remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is
never tempted to do wrong, and He never tempts anyone else. Temptation
comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These
desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives
birth to death.
Temptation - God is
never tempted to do wrong, and He never tempts anyone else. Temptation
comes in so many forms through our daily lives and we are constantly lured into
temptation by our own desire. I believe that desire is not the bad one, but it
is the decision that follows the desire that leads to wrong. How do we overcome
evil or rather how do we overcome bad desires. When your life belongs to Jesus
and He is in you and you are completely committed to Him then God will
strengthen you and give you wisdom to know and to overcome. We can channel
desire from bad to good. We can live with a desire to please God and this
should be your first goal so that when evil come knocking good will rise.
My dear friend, God will never temp you, because He loves
you too much and only wants you to succeed. Jesus became human and was tempted
just as we are, so He knows what you are going through. Place your desires in
His hands and ask Him to help you defeat evil so that we can glorify Him when
temptation fails. Let us walk in His light today and stand on His foundation so
that we will destroy all temptations and live fully. Come dear friend of Jesus
let us sing and dance as we glorify His name over all temptation. I pray that
you will be filled with joy and that you will focus on good and resist evil.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
