“For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy.  He has not turned his back on them,     but has listened to their cries for help” – Psalm 22:23, 24, NLT

The same God who feeds the birds and animals who cry out to Him for food will take care of you who are more precious in His sight.  Praise Him who opens His hand to the hungry so that you can eat and be satisfied.

Words of Wisdom

 

Deal with the faults of others as gently as your own – Chinese Proverb

Jesus warned us about judging others.  He used the illustration of a person with a beam in his eye finding fault with a person with a speck in his eye.  It’s always easier to point out the flaws and sins of others while ignoring or excusing our own.

It makes sense that we remember that we are all sinners and that nobody is perfect.  How we would like others to treat us is how we should treat them.  So, instead of finding fault with each other, we encourage and pray for one another.

Bible Topic

Temptation

What is temptation?  It is the desire to do something that you know is wrong like stealing, lying, or committing adultery.  When we are tempted, we can’t blame God for that.  He doesn’t tempt anyone or is He Himself tempted. We are responsible for our own temptations.  “But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death” (James 1:13-15).

God provides a way out of the temptation for us. “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” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

How should you deal with temptation?  You can do the following:

  1. Recognize it
  2. Run from it
  3. Pray about it
  4. Avoid certain situations
  5. Control your thoughts
  6. Quote Scripture

Temptation isn’t sin but when you give in it becomes sin.  Don’t feel bad because you have been tempted.  Jesus was tempted too but He didn’t give into it (Hebrews 4:15).  He can help you to resist and to over- come.  He is stronger than any temptation you might face or are facing.

Remember, Christ gives you the strength to do what may seem impossible (Philippians 4:13).
