Mountain Top Temptation

I have recently had a really amazing worship experience, where I was recharged and renewed with a fresh sense of grace and purpose. I noticed that the next day after this amazing experience, I was being tempted more than ever.

At first,I was frustrated with myself for allowing myself to be tempted and fall in so easily. But then I realized that if I am being tempted more heavily, then that means I have become stronger under His protection. He would not let me be tempted more if I couldn't handle it. So, while it's still very frustrating being under constant temptation, I am also encouraged by it.

I hope that if you are in a time of temptation with me, this post encourages you, too. Here are some scriptures that are good when you're facingthat's bigger then your ability to withstand alone.

1 Corinthians 10:13
James 1:12
James 1:1-3
Matthew 26:41
