Temptation And The Divine

Let us muse for several days from James 1:13 and our Encounter With Temptation on the road to God’s Blessings. We know that God is over all things. We are told in this verse that God does not bring temptation to man, but Satan does. The verse does not say that He does not send temptation or that He is not over temptation. When Christ was tempted 40 days and nights the Bible says that He was led of the Spirit into this temptation. There are several reasons why God may send it but never bring it. One, is that His person can never be defiled. Peter said that He is Holy. Habakkuk said that He was of too pure of eyes to look at sin. Paul said that He was both the just and the justifier of the sinner. He became sin for me, yet He remained Holy. He touched the leper yet He remained as pure and as white as snow. He is a God who can be over temptation, send temptation, yet never be affected by it and at the same time give us victory over it.
