Divine Help in Temptation

When temptations come to us, it is no evidence that God has deserted us, and that all of our surroundings are necessarily evil. More or less darkness accompanies every trial, but it is not total darkness, unless we make it so by rejecting the offers of divine help which the Lord graciously promises us. Christ, in the wilderness, probably endured more severe temptation than ever fell to the lot of mortals. The loneliness of the desert, the rapaciousness of the wild beasts, and the direct presence of Satan himself,— all these things were there. But angels of glory were there also, and, notwithstanding the presence of these other things, their pure companionship and holy influence were ministered to Christ in His hour of need.
