Temptation

– May 6, 2017 – 

I hope you enjoy the sunshine today. I couldn’t help but share these short stories.

In James chapter 1, we learn that God does not tempt us, but He allows us to be tempted. Temptation is a yoke, if we choose to claim it and wear it.

James also encourages us in verses 21-24 not to be merely hearers of the word (knowledge), but to be doers, and share what we have learned. How many areas can we apply this to in our lives?

God’s plan is for us to learn his way of life and teach it to someone else and come closer to Him. I believe God is a God of action, He wants us to do something with what we learn.

There is a great poem here by D. De Haan, “Heavy is the load of guilt that sinners have to bear; (but) Light is the load that Jesus wants to share.”

Hope you have a blessed weekend.
