NANCY WAS a Christian girl and had come out brightly on the side of her Saviour. One day some of her schoolmates were planning to attend some questionable place of amusement. “Why don’t you come with us, Nancy?” they asked sneeringly. “Because it is not right for a Christian to go there,” she replied, and stayed at home.
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Prov. 18:1010The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. (Proverbs 18:10). Those arrows Satan had sent through her school friends had not hurt Nancy. She had run into God’s strong tower for safety.
When temptations come we are told to “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:77Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7).
“Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.” v. 8.
