Wig’s Word of God Today 1-12-2011
Because He himself was tested through what He suffered, He is able to help those who are being tested. Hebrews 2:18
Hebrews 2:14-18, Psalm 105:1-2, 3-4, 6-7, 8-9 & Mark 1:29-39
We all live with temptation each and every day allowing ourselves to learn how to be faithful to God’s plan in our lives. It is something we cannot escape giving us courage to accomplish a Divine Plan laid out for us since the beginning of time. There will be trials and tribulations for each of us in our own special way designed by God through an ever functioning presence He allows to take place by His amazing grace. Every person experiences this temptation; your pastors, your parents, saints of all eternity and yes, even Jesus. These temptations are something we will face because simply put; we are human. It’s how we act on this temptation that defines our lives.
Jesus took the time we learn in the Bible to separate Himself and pray often. “Rising very early before dawn, He left and went off to a deserted place, where He prayed.” Mark 1:35 A trait we must learn to follow ourselves and something I commit myself to each and every day. No matter what I am experiencing in my life through temptation and disappointments, I get up early every day at 4:44 AM to get closer to God through studying His Word, praying and proclaiming. Prayerful living can overcome any type of temptation by seeking God’s wisdom in His Word and surrendering it all to Christ Jesus. We must learn that loving our love of Christ requires us to experience temptation to live a complete life in God’s Will. I’ve heard it said many times in my life: It’s not how you start the race, it’s how you finish it.
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, today we pray unceasingly for Jhaysonn’s cure and funding of treatment Medicaid has stopped paying for. We pray people will go to this link Lord and donate if they can to help this young seek a cure for his cancer: www.jhaysonnscure.com. We pray Lord to overcome temptation by Your love to gudide us to be faithful to Your Word. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
His Purpose Given Each and Every Day
Humanity’s children share His blood
Flesh of man from Heaven up above
Destroying our fear of the Evil One
Temptation thwarted by God’s Only Son
He suffered all kinds of evil for us
Never looking to run in disgust
Faithful High Priest before God
Like us He learned to give total trust
Glory rests in His Holy Name
We learn not to seek our own fame
To trust and abide by Christ’s Truth
Temptation oath humanity’s proof
A town gathers at His door
He healed many and made the devil poor
Retreating often to be alone and pray
His purpose given each and every day
