1st Corinthians 10: 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
Now, although we do not like to sound like a broken record, we should be reminded that in our day, the same antagonistic forces that came after Job, Jesus, John, David, Daniel, and every follower of Christ, in ages past, will again try to discourage, harass, tempt and destroy, if and when permitted to do so. Yet, God has given us the assurance that the enemy is not left to run loose without restraint.
Temptation and its byproducts, are carefully monitored by The God of heaven, so that if the Christian in question were to hang in there by faith, the adversity would not destroy, but would strengthen faith and resolve. In other words, if one is currently going through the wringer, the guarantee is given that such a person is enabled to bear it, just as Job, Jesus, and John were enabled to bear their share of tribulation.
Thus, because the heat of the furnace is scheduled to be ratcheted up several notches in our day, as we approach the close of earth’s history, it will become even more urgent and important that we study the experiences of those who have gone before, so that we wouldn’t be shaken out by the turbulence that’s scheduled to take the world by storm.
Hebrews 10: 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
