Bible Reading – 1 John 4: 1-12
‘The glorious word of scripture is that we are
not left to our own resources in dealing with temptation. The great God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the one who revealed himself to Moses, David and
Mary is our present help in times of trouble. Jesus Christ our everlasting
prophet is with us, teaching, empowering, and loving. The blessed Holy Spirit
draws near to us in our hour of temptation, guiding, strengthening and
encouraging. And when we do stumble and fall, we have an advocate with the
Father in our Saviour Jesus’.
Richard J Foster.
