Description
Have you considered what temptations you will face today? Dr. Philip Ryken tells the story of the downfall of King David, an upright and moral man. Despite his righteousness and status as "beloved by God," David succumbed to temptation and sin. Dr. Ryken commends cultivating a life of prayer and study of God's word, as well as remembering God's promises of faithfulness, as strategies to combat sin and temptation. Moreover, when we do fall into sin, Dr. Ryken shows the necessity of confession and repentance and of the loving forgiveness of God, which was made possible through the perfect life and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.
