Force

Jesus felt sin’s entire power, its total force. He was tempted but never gave in.

He, who was tempted fully, without sin, will give us all the mercy and grace we need to resist sin as well.

From the Old Testament to the New, giving is an act of individual worship. Giving out of compulsion, legalism, manipulation or force is not worship at all.

So here they come rolling in . . . the waves of fear and doubt . . . caused by sickness, job loss, a relationship break-up, illness of a loved one, discouragement, death. You can’t stand up under the force of the crashing waves. But you don’t have to. The Lord will absorb the powerful force for you. You need only to be still.
