No Trial Is Beyond God’s Help
Scripture is filled with many wonderful promises from the Lord, but we often struggle to accept them as true in our own life. God wants us to believe that He’s willing and able to do what He has said He will accomplish. God assures us that we don’t have to give in to sin. (1 Cor. 10:13) Jesus experienced this truth when the Holy Spirit led Him into the wilderness for an encounter with Satan. (Matt. 4:1-11) Our Savior successfully resisted the devil’s enticements by recalling who the Father is and what He had promised. The world we live in has a lot of traps that can be hard to detect. We sometimes have trouble recognizing a situation’s potential danger, but our heavenly Father understands what's involved and He knows just how we should respond. When you face temptation or encounter an unexpected difficulty, the approach needs to be the same. Turn your attention to the Lord, and keep it there until your mind is filled with the knowledge of Him. Allow the Scriptures to guide your prayers, and stand firm until the promised help comes.
