A reminder for
today
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common
to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that
ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye
may be able to bear it. (1
Corinthians 10:13)
Atheists! You know sometimes I just want to say to them that
they must get a grip and get over their arrogance and overblown egos. I get so upset
when they arrogantly state that there is no evidence and then pops up the super
intelligent ones with all the evolution crap and how man was once a monkey and
now that monkey runs a country and drives a car. This is when I want to say
that maybe their ancestors were monkeys, but I am sure mine was not. Maybe evolution
can explain their tiny ability to apply common sense and their huge egos.
When you talk to a Christian, they do not need to jump in a box
and pop up a whole bunch of assumptions on why God exists. They know He does
and they simply want to tell you the great news that you have purpose and that
are so loved that the God who created you, gave His life so that you can be free
from sin and the yoke of your past mistakes. His blood cleanses all and clears
all and His redemption and grace will change your life, just as it has changed
so many before you.
To me it comes down to temptation. You see we are all tempted,
and some will resist but other fall for temptation and when we are in sin’s
grip we tend to lose a little rationality. Paul writes that we will never be
tempted above our ability to resist it. Remember our resistance against
temptation is also strengthened by our faith and the Holy Spirit that is in us.
But to those that are worldly it is difficult especially when the world is more
important than the truth. So, yes temptation and the desire to be god rather than
excepting God’s existence can make one a little schizophrenic.
If you think about it this strategy by the enemy is one that he
used right from the beginning. How did he convince Eve to eat the forbidden
fruit? He told her she will be like God and that she will know everything – “For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good
and evil.”
To be honest this whole concept has been the fall of man
right from the beginning. Unfortunately, so many still fall for it and so many are
to arrogant to accept the errors of their ways, but did we not see this example
in so many other in history. That is why Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them
that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
