Temptations bring failure. Tests build faith.

James 1:13 - “When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.”

Satan uses many things to tempt us, like money, fame, position and many other evil thoughts. We often are deceived and controlled by these things, falling into temptation.

We have to read and study God’s word about temptation in order to restore our relationship with Him. God will never tempt us.

God does tests us and when He does, He’s doing a valuable thing. When God tests His children, His purpose is to prove that our faith is real, and that no trial will overcome our faith.

Accept the tests that God may put before you, but be prepared by reading God’s word to withstand the temptations thrown at you by Satan.

Keep the faith in the tests of life, and stay strong in your faith when temptations storm into your life.
