Don’t ever yield to this!

There are many opportunities to be tempted every day. From the moment we wake up, we receive a barrage of temptations at home, on the way to work, at work, at lunch, in the evening, etc. The Lord Jesus instructed us to pray every day for divine protection from temptation. I like the way the Message Bible shares Matthew 6:13, “Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge!” We know that the devil does tempt us in many ways, but our flesh also tempts us every day to disobey God in some way. This is why it is vital that we ask the Holy Spirit every day for help and strength to not yield to temptation. Remember, if we ask, we shall receive!

Matthew 6:13 (TLT)-  Don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one

Where do you find your strength?

The nations of the world boast on their military strength. Their military might gives them national confidence and a sure footing among the neighboring nations. Many individuals boast in their weapons, and even how smart they are. But that is limited in nature. There will always be someone mightier and smarter that you. For the believer, their confidence and boast is in the Lord. He is the one who makes us strong. He is the one who miraculously delivers us from the hand of the enemy. He is the one that gives us the victory! I will make my boast in the Lord. I will put my trust in the Lord. Weapons may fail you. Your knowledge may fail you, but God in Christ in never fail you!

Psalm 20:7 (TPT) Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in the Lord our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory!
