Heres something to think about when we all come into temptation. God loves us; the Devil hates us, God wants us to have a fullness of joy as He has, the devil wants us to to be miserable as he is. God gives us commandments to bless us. The devil would have us break these commandments to curse us. In the scriptures say that men are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great mediator of all men , or choose captivity and death according to the captivity and power of the devil. Daily, constantly, we choose by our desires, our thoughts, and our actions whether we want to be blessed or cursed, happy or miserable. One of the trails of life is that we do not usually receive immediately the full blessing for righteousness or full cursing for wickedness. That it will certain , but ofttimes there is a waiting period that occurs, as was the case with Job and Joseph. During this testing time the righteous must continue to love God, trust in His promises, be patient, and be assured, as the poet said that who does Gods work will get Gods pay. The great test of life is obedience to God. The great task of life is to learn the will of The Lord and then do it. The great commandment of life is thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy strength. May we all be on the winning side to choose to love God and have all these blessings to have Eternal life and never be burned with the wicked.
