TEMPTATION

Two drunkards were saved.

One said the inclination of drink was taken completely from him. He could do business in a bar room & not desire a drink.

The other said, "Not a day has passed since my submission to God that I have not wanted a drink; but God has kept me from yielding."

God deals differently with his children. In one case He may remove the temptation, in another He may leave the temptation & give grace to overcome it.

Where there is daily trusting Christ to keep you out of sin, there is daily victory, no matter what your particular temptation may be.

“One of the best results of temptation is that it shows us what is in our hearts.” -  A.B. Simpson.

1 Cor 10:13 (ESV): “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

“If we didn't have to stand against temptation, we'd never know our own spiritual strength.” -  Joyce Meyer.
