Romans 13:7
“Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.”
It is Memorial Day week. I worked in retail for over 30 years, and we knew Memorial Day weekend was the “kick-off” to summer. However, it is a time to reflect. Memorial Day was instituted as a federal holiday in 1971, but it has been going on since 1868. I am thankful for those who have fought for my freedom both physically and spiritually.
The ultimate sacrifice was made when Jesus gave up His life for us, so that we could have eternal life with Him.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
I am thankful He died so I could live.

James 1:2-4
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Temptation (testing) is a matter of when not if. You will be tested. Various events will come about in your life that will test your faith. Get ready if you haven’t experienced this already. Maybe as you read this you are being tempted with something. It is a test. Do not fail! Here is some scripture that might help:
John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
1 Peter 4:12 “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.”
There are a lot of other verses in scripture that can bring you comfort. Maybe you should stop reading this devotion and go read some. It might be just what you need.
