When we face various sorrows, we think this will bring an
end to our future. During the waiting time we face various temptations by the
devil. If you read Mathew 4:1-10, we see that Jesus was tempted by the devil
for 40 days. But Jesus overcame devil’s attacks with word of God. So, we can
overcome temptations when we believe and confess word of God.
a) Know that there is way of escape: If we read, 1
Corinthians 10:13, No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to
mankind. 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 a way out so that you
can endure it.
b) Know this trouble will not destroy you: Isaiah 17:13,
though they thunder like breakers on a beach, God will silence them, and they
will run away. They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind, like a
tumbleweed whirling before a storm. In Psalm 46:5, God dwells in that city; it
cannot be destroyed. From the very break of day, God will protect it.
c) Know there is date of your deliverance has been
determined by God, though you never know it: In Mathew 4:11, we see devil left
Jesus, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. You know why, in
Colossians 2:15, He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed
them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. Jesus has won victory for
us on the cross. If you look at, 1 John 4:17, it is written, we live like Jesus
here in this world. Jesus is victorious. When we believe Jesus, we too have the
victory.
