1 Sam 30:6 David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, …. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. 1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, & He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 2 Tim 4:6-8 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, & the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, & not only to me but also to all who have loved His appearing. — With temptation, with the earthly battles, we are to find our strength in the Lord! Keep the faith, fight the fight, for the crown of righteousness awaits! Love Mel
