No Trial Is Beyond God's Ability To Help

Scrptures: Jude 1:24-25

Though Scripture is filled with promises from the Lord, we often struggle to accept them as true in our own life. But the Father wants us to believe that He’s willing and able to do whatever He has said.

God has assured us that we don’t have to give in to the lure of sin, as He sets a limit on temptation and provides a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13). Jesus experienced this truth when the Holy Spirit led Him into the wilderness for an encounter with Satan (Matthew 4:1-11). Our Savior successfully resisted the devil’s enticements by recalling who the Father is and what He promised. God limited the temptation to three challenges, and the way out was through Scripture’s powerful truth.

The Lord has also pledged to keep us from stumbling. We live in a world that is full of landmines, which are either hidden from sight or disguised as something good. We do not seek them out, but once triggered, they lead to ungodliness. For example, Peter had a conversation with a servant girl and ended up denying that he knew Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:69-74). Like the apostle, we sometimes have trouble recognizing a situation’s potential danger, but our heavenly Father understands what is involved—and He knows just how we should respond.

When you face temptation or encounter an unexpected difficulty, the approach needs to be the same. Turn your attention to the Lord, and keep it there until your mind is filled with the knowledge of Him. Allow the Scriptures to guide your prayers, and stand firm until the promised help comes.

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang takut kepada Tuhannya di saat mereka tidak tampak di hadapan yang lainnya, mereka akan memperoleh ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Dan rahasiakanlah perkataanmu atau lahirkanlah; sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati. Apakah Allah Yang menciptakan itu tidak mengetahui (yang kamu lahirkan atau rahasiakan); dan Dia Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui? Dialah Yang menjadikan bumi itu mudah bagi kamu, maka berjalanlah di segala penjurunya dan makanlah sebahagian dari rezki-Nya. Dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah kamu (kembali setelah) dibangkitkan ." (QS. Al Mulk: 12-15) “Takutlah akan Allah dan muliakanlah Dia, karena telah tiba saat penghakiman-Nya, dan sembahlah Dia yang telah menjadikan langit dan bumi dan laut dan semua mata air” (Wahyu 14:7)
