Tested by Temptations

HonorBound Devotion: March 5, 2010

Read James 1:13 – When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.

God’s allure is never evil! His desire for our life is those things that will make for the best of life. Man has a constant battle in him between that which is good and that which is evil. The tests we have in life contain the temptations of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. But those same tests have the allure for godliness, holiness and sanctification. The test is failed or won by what controls the man. If the carnal man is in the seat of power he will opt for evil. If the Spirit man reigns then he will control the outcome of his test and not be tripped up by the temptations of this world.
