Trials and Temptations
Dear friends,
do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal
that has come on you to test you,
as though something strange were happening to you.
1 Peter 4:12
If you are doing the Lord's work, Satan gets all hot and bothered. Then he gets after you to try to derail you.
If you are not actively involved with the Lord, you are not a threat to Satan and he leaves you alone.
So...
Don't be surprised when Satan throws some fiery ordeal at you. Consider it normal for a healthy Christian. Consider it a complement. Stay the course.
Spend the week focusing on this scripture:
- Read the verse in your Bible.
- Read the passage before and after it.
- Write it in your journal.
- Ask the Lord to show you how it applies to your life.
- Put it on a piece of paper and post it in a prominent place in your home so that you can see it often.
- Put the words to music. Make up a tune or use one you already know. Singing always helps in the memory process. It's a left brain / right brain thing.
- Always memorize the scripture reference with the verse so you can remember where to find it in the Bible.
