—Romans 16:17-27
by: Susan Bond.
A couple of times in my life I have sincerely prayed, “Lead me not into temptation,” and yet found myself right in the middle of it. Why? I have two legs; I could have run. I have a voice box; I could have said, “No.” Had I taken time to focus on God’s Word, I believe I’d have made better decisions. Paul wrote that God has the “power to stablish you according to my gospel” (v.25, KJV). Yes, God is able to keep me from falling, but I must look to him above all else and keep my sword drawn (Ephesians 6:16, 17).
