Beloved,
Ever wondered why God allows us to be tempted? It is because He has great faith in us. He knows we can take it! We can handle it, it is no big deal!
It is the same reason the Father allowed the Holy Spirit to lead Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted. He knew Jesus could handle it, and had to handle it for our benefit! John 4:1.
1 Corinthians 10:13, makes quite clear that the Father will never allow any temptation to come our way that we cannot overcome. So, stop being stressed out about temptation. Just go ahead and overcome it in the name of Jesus! If you fail, know that you did not have to, and let that inform your resistance the next time the temptation comes around. That will better position you to resist successfully.
I love you,
Pastor Shina.
