SEPTEMBER 18

 

Hebrews 4:5-“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”

Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

 

TEMPTATION’S TRAP

 

Temptation is an evil trap that Satan tries to use.

Inferring that we have some rights if we are wearing other shoes!

 

Temptation is an endeavor cruel causing us to question God.

Satan confuses Truth’s point of view disregarding God’s protective rod.

 

The Ten Commandments  are good for us. They offer simplicity in life.

Satan manipulates Truth somehow questioning facts that withstood strife.

 

Jesus was tempted all His life. (It happens to one and all.)

God’s Spirit came protecting Him and Jesus did not fall.

 

Temptation is not a sin at all. Temptation is a real part of life.

Jesus has won the battle for me. He has conquered all this strife.

 

Resist the enemy and flee from Him. Resist every trap Satan sets.

The Holy Ghost is your warrior friend. The battle is His, don’t forget!

PONDER-Satan likes to shift our point of view and discourage us to yield to temptation.

His subtle ways are well practiced. Become aware of the craftiness of the Tempter. He wants to steal us away from Jesus. The Holy Spirit is our protector. Bask in the safety of His love. Obey His Word and temptation will flee.

Dear Lord, thank You for Your saving and keeping power. Keep my mind and heart alert enough to recognize temptation when it knocks at my door. Thank You in advance, for the strength that You will give me to resist temptation. Thank you for being my loving Heavenly Father. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
