Jesus said to him, It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your God. (Matthew 4:7 NKJV)
Faced with difficult circumstances, many are surprised by the pressure that follows, will I choose to do Gods will or my own? The story of Jesus being led into the wilderness shows us the stand we must take when faced with right and wrong, good or evil. Created with the desire to do the right thing we must choose Gods way, however the correct choice in any situation is for me to decide.
Many take the stand "I belong to God therefore I trust He will forgive me," and He will, but remember there is a right and wrong, peace that passes our understanding or guilt that will not be satisfied. The flesh and the devil insist satisfy me, God says, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) Friend don't tempt God with your desires trust Him in all your ways.
Heavenly Father we look to You, help us to stand when everyone does not, help us to listen when the noise is too loud, help our unbelief when the flesh says its ok. May all our thoughts test the desire to do right for You. Amen
