Proverbs 10:29
Fighting a battle is physically tasking. Nourishment is essential for sustained combat. It is the same in our daily battle against temptation. We grow weary and weak of continually fighting the same challenges day after day. Fortunately for us, God strengthens us in our fight against temptation when we trust in Him.
We often feel that no one has experienced the pressure we are under to submit to the temptations of the world. But Paul comforts us best in 1 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 ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
We can be assured that God will provide strength for the weary when we trust Him. We are not alone, even Jesus was tempted by the devil. And we are assured the same success when we follow His guidance.
