Your Weakness
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” – Hebrews 4:15-16
Let’s ruminate the following truths concerning temptation:
1. Any weakness constantly indulged in, excused, denied or hidden, can and eventually will enslave you.
2. Failure to identify and target your dominant weakness guarantees defeat.
3. Ignoring your weakness makes defeat inevitable.
4. satan has assigned certain people to feed your weakness. Be discerning!
5. Your weakness will be drawn to any friendship that accepts it, enjoys it and feeds on it.
6. Your weakness has an agenda: to take over your life and sabotage God’s plan for you.
7. Your weakness will always bond with the wrong people and make you uncomfortable in the presence of the right ones.
8. Your weakness can emerge at any time, including your closing years.
9. Your weakness cannot be overcome by human reasoning or willpower.
10. God will permit you to enjoy success in various areas, even while your weakness is still operating within you. Why? Because He’s long-suffering and merciful.
11. Overcoming your weakness brings great rewards.
12. Succumbing to your weakness brings great frustration.
“We overcome all temptation by separation from it.” – G. Curtis Jones
