[Discoveries] 03-07-07 Truth and temptation

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD 
God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not 
eat from any tree in the garden'?" -- Genesis 3:1*/

At the root of every temptation is a lie. This was the opening punch. It 
wasn't designed to knock Eve out, just to throw her off balance. Here's 
the message behind it: What kind of God do you serve? Why does He 
deprive you of what is good?

You'll find a lie something like this at the core of every temptation 
you face. God isn't good or sufficient. If He was, you wouldn't be in 
this mess. You need a different solution. Here, I have something custom 
designed for you.

That really is what sin is: a different solution.

But Jesus is the truth. When we bring our temptations to Him, we find 
that God can do what He said He could do: satisfy every one of our 
desires with good.

Be encouraged!
