Testing vs. Tempting

Day
Tuesday

Scripture
James 1:13-18
Translation
NkJV

What God said to me
I test, but I do not tempt. Be careful to distinguish between the two. A proper response to either can lead to the perfecting of your faith. The results of an improper response may vary. An improper response to testing may produce guilt and repentance – a realization that further growth is needed. An improper response to temptation always leads to sin and, if unchecked, to spiritual death.
What I said to God
Every good and perfect gift is from You. Continue to point areas in which I need to grow. Deliver me from evil.
