Even if the entire world hates you, the Lord will love you for you belong to Him. You belong to the King of kings. You are His chosen one. Your name is engraved on His palm as well as in His heart. His breath is in you.
The temptation was such that He was humiliated, beaten, tortured, bruised, pierced, and crucified. The tempter tempted the Creator; therefore, he can tempt anyone.
Our Lord was very courageous. A timid person cannot endure humiliation to such an extent.
The closer you are to God, the greater the temptation.
The tempter is concerned about you, not the world, because the world is with him.
You cannot overcome temptation on your own; you need spiritual strength to resist it.
The Holy Spirit is your armor, shield, and strength. Without Him, you cannot face this battle. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Receive His gifts to conquer every temptation.
“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God” (Isaiah 40:1).
When you shed tears, you touch the heart of God.
Your broken heart breaks the heart of the great Yahweh.
Certain prayers experience delayed answers. God does not do it intentionally; He prepares you beforehand. He trains you to trust Him and to have faith in Him.
“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him” (2 Chronicles 16:9).
“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good” (Proverbs 15:3).
His eyes move to and fro. He searches every heart.
Can anyone escape from His eyes?
His eyes penetrate deep down into the sea. Where can we hide?
No one can claim that they are holy and without sin.
Let’s turn to Him now.
He gave us plenty of opportunities to repent and follow Him, but we kept neglecting Him.
We have to face the Judge alone.
Life is like a vapor; how will we face Him tomorrow?
