God is in Control

There are times in every Christian’s life when the enemy attacks. Perhaps it comes at a time when we are exhausted, or when our defenses are down, or when we are particularly vulnerable. When we are in this state, we are particularly open to spiritual attack. This attack can come in any number of forms: a consistent assault on our integrity, an act of great injustice against us, or a continuous enticement to give in to money, power, and lies. The scenarios are numerous. That is the bad news. But the good news is that while it may seem that the enemy has the upper hand, God is ALWAYS on the throne. God rules. He is in control. He does not allow the enemy to test us beyond our limits, and in every trial and temptation, He is there empowering us to overcome, if we let Him. So when we feel entrapped by trial and temptation, let us ask our Heavenly Father to show us His escape route and follow Him into a new day of victory! — 1 Corinthians 10:13
