The Daily Blueprint for 11-27-07
James: book of Godly wisdom - part 9
JAMES 1:12
Blessed is the man who endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall recieve the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love Him.
Our Lord Jesus is our example of what it means to endure tempation - if you have know Christ any time at all - you know the strong pull of the enemy - he wants us to make a mockey of our faith -he wants us to give into his requests -but we are to be ruled by the Spirit of God and if you know Jesus there will be a time when you can walk away from any temptation - the problem is many of us go places we should not go - and that just sets us up - the enemy knows our weakness - he knows where to hit you - where I may not have a problem with something - you just might -that is why we should be careful not to do anything that some consider sin - we must not do anything that will offend our brothers and sisters in Christ - note the last part - we are not to worry about the offence we cause the lost -because that offence could be used to bring them to Christ. We must be on our guard at all times - we know when temptation comes and if we endure we will be blessed and not only that - we will in turn honour our Lord and show the world we really belong to Him - some think temptaion is sin -it is not -for our Lord was tempted for 40 days and 40 nights - and at His physical weakest - satan attacked and yet Jesus endured it - we have that same power to avoid the pit falls of sin - not to say that any of us are perfect or can be perfect on our own - its the fact that God has given each of us the power to endure temptation -sometimes it seems easier just to give in - but we must stand our ground - we must do all to honor God - and falling prey to temptation does in no way honor Him - so stand fast against the devil - not in your power but in God's - we do not have to sin - sure our flesh is weak - but His Spirit within us in strong - and with Christ in our hearts - there is no temptation we cannot stand up too in Him!
a side note: the enemy will always attack your weakness - lets be strong in the LORD and be able in HIS power to stand up -stand up for JESUS!
in CHRIST we can endure temptation!
