Overcoming

Each and everyone of us face our own temptations in life.  This is true for the believer and the unbeliever alike.  The biblical solution to this dilemma is not found within us but beyond us.  To a source of strength that is all around us...  We carry it in our phones, it sits on our bookshelves, it's in nearly every hotel room we sleep in, its in our minds, for it is The Word of God!

When confronted with temptation, do we find ourselves "under law" and bound by the weakness of our flesh succumbing to desire which leads to sin and death or in FAITH, do we "stand upon" the Word resting in His truths trusting in what He has claimed to be better for us? 

Jesus Himself, put on flesh, was tempted in the worst imaginable way and though He could have done ANYTHING, He chose, in Faith, to stand upon and submit to the Word of His Father.  By that, He overcame.

Find your own "it is written" that you too might access the power in the Word (Christ) to overcome sin and death!   Amen
