Life Is Hard...I Know

   Life is sooooo hard. We, as Christians, are tempted, or faith is tested, we doubt, yet in the end God saves and forgives us. We are told in Ephesians 6: 12-18 to put the armor of God on. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide you a way out." Such a lovely verse! We think we are alone when we are tried but we're not! Also 1 Peter 5:8-9 says, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same problems." The enemy will get into your mind and tell you lies but we have to turn towards him and say, "Be gone, I will not listen to your lies for you are making me doubt about God. God is not evil, He is pure, holy and perfect." I warn you, do not fall into the net of the world for it will be so hard to climb out of! Trust God to help you out for the more we struggle the more we are entangled. One more thing Jesus was also tempted and He struggled but he did not give in, He fought through and saved us by being perfect and righteous!
