Though the Scripture is filled with promises from the Lord, we often struggle to accept them as true in our own lives. But, the Father wants us to believe that He is willing and able to do whatever He has said. God has assured us that we do not have to give in to the lure of sin. He sets a limit on temptations and He provides a way out! (1 Corinthians 10:13). Jesus experienced this truth (Matthew 4:1-11). Our Savior successfully resisted the devil’s enticements, by recalling who the Father is and what He promised; the way out was through Scripture’s powerful truths.

The Lord has also pledged to keep us from stumbling. We live in a world that is full of land mines, which are either hidden from sight or disguised as something good. We do not have to seek them out, but once triggered they lead to ungodliness. We sometimes have trouble recognizing situations’ potential dangers, but our Heavenly Father understands what is involved, and knows how we should respond. When we face temptations or encounter unexpected difficulties, let us turn our attention to the Lord, and keep it there until our minds are filled with the knowledge of Him. We have to allow the Scriptures to guide us/our prayers and stand firm until the promised help comes. We must trust Him for the kind of help that brings Him glory. Jude 1:24-25
