GOD DOES NOT TEMPT
James 1:13
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
Personal challenge
It is so easy to get mad at God when temptations come our way, but He will not and cannot tempt us. Many temptations in our lives come from our own doing. We either harbor a passion or a desire and then do things to feed them or we "innocently" walk into that donut shop when we are in the middle of a diet. We cause our own temptations in these situations. Many temptations come from the fallen world that we live in. In all cases, it is not God that tempts us. God is there to help us through the temptation. He does allow the temptations in order to strengthen us and to teach us. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner.
