Common SIN-se!
“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
I Corinthians 10:13 NKJV
Have you ever felt like you are the only one struggling with a particular thing like you are the only one going through what you are going through?
If so, be encouraged! The truth is, you are not alone!
Today’s episode is meant to uplift and encourage you!
Listen, no matter what you are going through, no matter what you may be struggling with, you are not alone!
If you are born-again, if you are a child of God, He has promised to never leave you or forsake you!
That means that even in the midst of the most trying times, in the midst of the most challenging temptation, in the heat of the battle, He is there, with you, always;
walking with you through the valley, through the fire, and through the flood!
it doesn’t always seem so, however.
Sometimes it feels like no one cares like no one sees, and the weight of the world is pressing in, but be encouraged those are just feelings and they simply aren’t true!
The Bible says God neither sleeps nor slumbers and that He is an ever-present help in times of trouble!
The Bible says, many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all!
That's awesome news!
The question remains then, how do we, in the midst of the most trying times see Jesus?
How do we run to Him when everything inside of us is screaming to give up and give up to that temptation?
I have to be honest with you,
Waiting until the moment when lust is knocking at your door is too late.
We must, as my Pastor says all the time, put the Word of God in when we don’t need it, so it comes out when we do!
If we will build a habit of soaking ourselves in the Word every day, we will be well equipped to stand against the wiles of the enemy!
No temptation that has come your way is special or unique, it’s just common SIN-se and therefore it must bow to the power of the Word every time!
So what do you say, fellow saints?
Why not start today basking in the Word?!
The Bible says, “Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”
When that ol’ devil comes a-knockin with this or that temptation, don’t answer the door!
Yes, giving in to that sin may be fun for a season, it may even bring immense pleasure for a moment, but it’s just that - temporary!
What do you say, you and I purpose in our hearts today not to seek the temporal things of this world and instead give ourselves wholly to the eternal things of Heaven!
Until next time, remember: what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you!!
In Christ,
