God’s Faithfulness ~ Our
Everlasting Hope!
LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You and praise Your name, for
in perfect faithfulness
During this season of reflection
and renewal, join me in exploring God’s Faithfulness. Do you find strength for
every circumstance in God’s Faithfulness? God IS Faithful! God’s Faithfulness is our everlasting Hope! ~ Donna Oswalt
The temptations in your life are no
different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow
the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will
show you a way out so that you can endure.
Experiencing
temptations normal to all people, Paul’s letter to the Corinthians examines the
Israelites from the Old Testament and their consequences of misusing freedom.
Forty years in the wilderness becomes the lesson for them and us.
Overconfidence or complacency can easily lead to disobedience. All sin screams
temptation, entices us toward its darkness. Satan, The Tempter, lures us using our own desires This Scripture affirms
that sin is common to all people, irresistible and inviting; but God’s
faithfulness always shows us an escape route.
God,
impervious to evil, stands between us and Satan, offering His power and grace
as our victory over temptation. Scripture validates that all things are permissible,
but not all things are profitable. When faced with temptation, seek God’s help
to stop, to overcome, to begin again. Be alert because Satan always lies in
wait for another opportunity to seduce.
Jehovah-Nissi,
You give me victory over the weakness of my flesh, my constant temptations to
sin. You stand in the gap, fight the battles against darkness and evil. You
create boundaries for my safety and borders of protection. When I find myself
enticed by Satan, ignite my soul to sing ‘great
is Your faithfulness’. Destroy my arrogance and my apathy as I fall to my
knees and worship a Holy God! –dho
Focus Point: Sin is common to all people, irresistible and
inviting; but God’s faithfulness always shows us an escape route.
