Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: No Trial Is Beyond God’s Help
SCRIPTURE: Jude 1:24-25
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 we don’t have to give in to sin (1 Corinthians 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, and they can be hard to detect. For example, Peter had a conversation with a servant girl and ended up denying that he knew Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:69-74). Like the disciple, we sometimes have trouble recognizing a situation’s potential danger, but our heavenly Father understands what is 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.
Bible in One Year: Isaiah 58-62
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: When difficulties arise, trust that the Lord will stay true to His promises.
