Choosing to side with God's
Word is a continual challenge. It's not something you do just once. It's
a process of choosing to believe and act upon the Word of God over and
over in every circumstance.
That's what everyone has to do. Years
ago I decided I was going to choose Jesus. Since then I've had to choose
Him again and again in situations every day. I've chosen Him as my Lord
and Savior. I've chosen Him as my Healer. I've chosen Him as my
Financier. I've chosen Him as head of my household. I've chosen Him as
head of this ministry. And I still have to choose Him moment by moment.
Sometimes
that choice gets tough, but God has promised it will never get too
tough. In 1 Corinthians 10:13, He says, "There hath no temptation taken
you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not
suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able." What the Lord is
saying is that He will not allow you to be subjected to a temptation
you're unable to overcome. With every temptation, He'll make a way of
escape. He'll always make sure you have a choice.
The devil
doesn't come tempt you while God is off somewhere else, unaware of what
is happening to you. The Spirit of God is constantly there with you,
providing you with the way to overcome. In other words, God matches even
the toughest temptations with the weapons and power you need to conquer
them. He always makes it possible for you to choose life.
So choose to walk in love. Choose to walk by faith. Choose to live by the Word. Jesus is the Way! Choose Him!
