Jesus to the Rescue

July 17, 2013

God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble.
–Psalm 46:1 (TLB)

Scripture tells us that God tempts no one. Temptation always comes from the devil. God will test us and allow us to endure the temptation, but the devil does the tempting. How do we overcome it? A little girl once told her method. “When the devil comes knocking at the door,” she said, “I don’t answer it. I send Jesus to the door.” And that is exactly the way to take care of it. Send Jesus to the door!

Prayer for the day

Lord Jesus, help me to remember the power of Your holy name!

James 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

Dear Lord, I am always tempted to do things that are wrong and evil. By reading the scriptures, may it be my pathway to rely on you, not on satan.

Amen..!!!

God will not permit more temptation than you can bear. Stay focused and pray for Holy Spirit guidance and strength to endure.

Rich says 7.17.2011, 9:58 p.m.

Lord please look after me. I place my life, hopes and future in your hands.

Nnamdi says 7.17.2011, 2:12 p.m.

The truth is that the enemy's knock is continual but, ours is to be filling our hearts with the word of God so that Jesus will be the sound of the knock.

Scott - Gradior dignus says 7.17.2011, 12:57 a.m.

Great plan, Amen !

Vanlian says 7.17.2011, 11:52 a.m.

Temptation is one kind of our mortal weakness.

Gerry says 7.17.2011, 07:38 a.m.

When the devil tempts you he will usually attack at your weakest point. He is very clever and cunning and will wait for the perfect time, place and situation. If it is a time of testing, permitted by God (as in Job's case) it will pass. Rememeber to pray for strength and hold fast to his great truths you have learned previously. Even though it may be very uncomfortable .........we grow into more mature believers during these times.

It was good to see Josh McDowell on your sight. I have been witnessing on a dating sight and told an atheist about Josh's book "Evidence That calls for a Verdict" got a bad response, but you never know. Also, gave him a personal testimony. Pray for my witnessing on line and for this atheist.
