Resist Temptation, Restore Godly Satisfaction
Before temptations, no one can boast about their capabilities because no attributes of our humanity can be the worthy opponents of temptations. But Lord understands the weakness of our humanity and has divine compassion on us. He said, "when you are tempted, I will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." Blessed are you who respond to God's grace and persevere under temptations. When you seek to do the will of God, the approval of God and empowerment of Holy Spirit will give you transcending strength to resist temptations and experience godly satisfaction in Christ.

How To Use Your Feelings For The Lord? <Ph 4:1-7>
If there is this one thing that the whole world would idolize and give attention to, it is the feelings that the human species is born with. And humans by nature legitimize their feelings. Yet, because of the sinful and imperfect world we live in, there is no way to protect our feelings without hurting that of others. Similarly, there is no way to move forward as a society, or as a church without some getting hurt. Inherently, we all love to feel good, and there is nothing wrong in wanting so, but what could be really wrong is if we just shut our spiritual mechanism, or stop testing or doing the will of God when we are feeling otherwise. Christ has come to redeem our feelings and emotions, and HE has given us the truth to master them. With that, let us learn to face the reality of our feelings and to use them rightly.
