RESIST HIM
James5:9: “Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of suffering.”
And you thought you were the only ones suffering; sorry but the world offers much suffering and there is plenty to go around. But we (those who know Jesus as Savior) need not feel we suffer alone; we have the strength and peace offered to us by our Father; actually we can rejoice in that knowledge because we know that He will never allow temptations greater than we can handle.
I must repeat this point because of its importance in our daily lives. We know Jesus said He would never allow anything to come upon us that would be beyond our ability to cope, so we can have peace in that knowledge and rely on His strength. Therefore when things seem to be beyond our control it is merely Satan’s way of trying to discourage us and to keep our eyes off Jesus; this is just the time to resist his tempting and look to Him.
