There is not one temptation that man has not been tempted of.

And there is not one temptation that there is not an escape.

I Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) – 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.

When you do things for others, looking for a reward or praise, whatever they say or do for you, that’s all the reward you’ll get.

Matthew 6: 1-2 (KJV) – take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thou alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

You think, what you did in secret, no one saw you.

Think again. . .

Proverbs 15:3 (KJV) – the eyes of the Lord are in every place, be holding the evil and the good.

When your ways are pleasing to God, He makes your enemy be at peace with you.

Proverbs 16:7 (KJV) – when a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

When you roll with God, your privileges change.

John 15:7 (KJV) – if ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

To receive from others, is a blessing.

To give to others, is an even more blessing.

You are a blessing. Therefore, be a blessing.

Acts 20:35 (KJV) – I have shewed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give then to receive.
