temptation

  • afflictions, crosses and sorrows (William Williams)


    “I thank my God that there is no affliction, cross or sorrow laid upon me, but that my heavenly Father gives me the power to bear it and to be willing.“

    –William Williams, “The Experience Meeting,” (Vancouver: Regent College, reprinted 1973, orig. published 1777)
    What current affliction, cross or sorrow has been laid upon you?
    How has your heavenly Father been helping you to bear it and be willing?

    I Corinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
