忍受试探
你们所遇见的试探,无非是人所能受的。上帝是信实的,必不叫你们受试探过于所能受的;在受试探的时候,总要给你们开一条出路,叫你们能忍受得住。
哥林多前书10:13
每一天,你都有可能在试探面前摇摆、摔倒、跌落。每一天,你都有机会被牵制、侧击、蒙蔽。你可能屈服,或者落入圈套。你并不是唯一的一个。
但是,你同样也可以把持自己、站立得稳。你总有机会在恐惧面前保持坚强,在诱惑面前保持淡定。在与诱惑较力的争斗中,你有选择倚靠主的自由。不要妥协,忍耐到底。你并不孤单。
上帝要与你同在同行,赐给你力量,做出正确的选择。他没有说一切都会轻省。但是,他期望你就像他也期望其他人一样,在每一天的每一个争战中,都能跟随祂。祂赐给你权柄和帮助,你必能忍受试探。
今日祷告:
耶稣,请与我一起争战,带领我走出每一个陷阱。阿们。

Endure
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
1 CORINTHIANS10:13
Every day you will have opportunity to flail and fall and flop. There will always be chances for you to be sidetracked or sideswiped or blindsided. You can give in yourself or be lured into the snare. Every day. And you are not alone.
You also have the opportunity to stand every day. There will always be chances for you to remain strong in the face of fear, or to resist the trap of temptation. In the throws of an alluring struggle you have the authority to choose freedom. You do not have to relent. You can endure. And you are not alone.
God wants to walk with you and empower you to do what is right. He does not expect it will be easy for you, but he does expect you, just as he expects everyone else, to follow him through every struggle, every day. You can endure with his help and his empowerment.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, fight by my side today. Show me the way through each trap. Amen.
