To complain of temptation, like all other complaint, is not only useless, but it is childish, showing a lack of faith in God. It shows a selfish desire to get through the world easier than other people, to share in the victory without having participated in the battle. The infallible Word says that "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." Now where is there any ground for complaint about temptation? or where is there any excuse for being overcome by it? The Lord has left us without any excuse in this matter; for He "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." And having suffered through temptation, "He is able to succor them that are tempted." In view of these facts we have the inspired suggestion: "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." In all the possible vicissitudes of the Christian life there is no excuse; for "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
