Do you know what the difference is between trials and temptations? This is a question all of us should ask ourselves now and then.
Trial- seems to be something that is externally affecting us and challenging us to change, die to self and or trust God in a deeper way. If we stay sure through the trial, we develop endurance and stronger faith that leads to completeness (perfect in God).
Temptation- and internal desire gone astray (I saw it described as a deformed desire) that leads to sin if followed through. This is something we can choose to walk (or flee) away from.
Trials lead to good results if we stay the course but temptation leads to disaster if we don't flee away! Now I need to remember to that!
