Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:12)
Our adversary the devil knows how to wait. Like a lion stalking its prey, Satan has his eyes set on each one of us. He is patient – looking for an opening to strike and devour (1 Pet. 5:8). We have the armor of God to put on and by it, to stand in the day of trial (Eph. 6:10-13). By God’s good help we can endure present trials and temptations as we seek God’s approval instead of the passing pleasures of sin that cause eternal death. Choose divine blessings for the present and eternity. A promise is set before us, brother and sister. Let us love the Lord and not sin. He Lord is faithful to strengthen, protect and save.
