The Bible study my class is using this session,
Seek God First, has been so perfect for all we go through on a daily
basis. I am always amazed at how God meets us where we are. We are doing week six, "Don’t Tempt
Me." My favorite devotional book is My Utmost For His Highest by
Oswald Chambers. Three days this week, September 17, 18 & 19,
have been devoted to the subject of temptation. If you have this
book, I encourage you to read these three days.
I have used this same devotional book since 1984 and I have recorded significant events in my life on the specific day with the year beside
it. Today’s devotional, September 19th, was the day that our family went
back to the bay after Hurricane Ike destroyed our home on Galveston Bay,
September 13, 2008. Look what I read that day,
“You are those who have stood by me in my trials.” Luke 22:28 Here is a portion from September 19th - “Watch when God shifts your circumstances, and see whether you are going with Jesus or siding with the world, the flesh and the devil? We wear His badge but are we going with Him? We have this idea that we ought to shield ourselves from some of the things God brings round us. Never! God engineers circumstances and whatever they may be like, we have to see that we face them while continually abiding with Him in His temptations. They are His temptations, not temptations to us, but temptations to the life of the Son of God in us”.
Do you see how perfect this devotion was for me that
day?
Are you facing temptations to the life of the Son of God in you this week? Our group has endeavored to not eat sugar for the entire seven days this week. Whether we have done it thus far and are looking forward to continuing strong over the weekend or have already eaten sugar and need to get back on the horse, our God is the God of beginning
again and He wants to help us to a life of victory in Him.
Share your thoughts below. Let's keep the conversation going.

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well.
