Sounds Tempting - James 1:13 (NIV)

Scripture of the Day
James 1:13 (NIV)
“Sounds Tempting”

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
-------------------------------------------
Although GOD will test us, we must understand that GOD does not tempt us!  GOD is not a man that HE should lie (numbers 23:19) . . . so nor is HE a man that HE will tempt you!  GOD will test and consider HIS faithful servants!  HE asked satan, “Have you considered my servant Job?”  But not once did GOD tempt Job! 

Always remember that when GOD test you, HE also gives you the correct answer to every test, through HIS Word!  When satan tempts, it is to trick you into choosing the incorrect answer in accordance to GOD’s Word.  Next time you find yourself thinking or saying, “Hum . . . that sounds tempting!”  don’t blame it on GOD if you decide to choose the incorrect answer!

Again, satan doesn't care how or why we give up or fail!  Satan just doesn't want us to pass the test!  He doesn't want us to bless and praise GOD . . . satan wants us to live in the same curse that he is destined to live in!  If it sounds tempting . . . then it is temptation!
