Temptation Will Not Win!

“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.” James‬ ‭1:14‬ 

‭We always think that God is tempting us to see if we will mess up, but that is not how it is at all. The temptation will never win when you speak God into your circumstance. The Bible teaches us that God doesn't tempt us. God actually wants to help us get away from temptation, He has given us a way out by rebuking the devil, then he will flee the Bible says. The Bible also tells about how the enemy tempted Jesus in the wilderness, he tempted Jesus with bread because he knew Jesus was hungry. The enemy doesn't temp us where we are strong, but instead where we are weak, where he knows we will give. See temptation doesn't always come in the form of sin, but sometimes comes in the form of doubt, hatred for ourselves, and fear. If the enemy can make take your mind off of God and make you think that you're not good enough and that God can never love you, then you will start to distance yourself from God. He thinks if he can hit you in your weak spot, that you'll run from God out of fear of being too far gone, but that is a lie. The enemy is making you think that, know that you are never too far gone because God's grace can be found anywhere. God will always be waiting on you with open arms. If the enemy has used doubt, fear, insecurities, or even sin know that God still loves you, and is waiting for you to come back to Him. Do just as Jesus did in the wilderness , don't let him in. Rebuke the enemy and he will flee the Bible says! You have the power of God, use your words to rebuke him! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “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.” James‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭ “And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.” Matthew‬ ‭6:13‬ ‭ “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:13‬ ‭ “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil.” Matthew‬ ‭4:1‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
