Temptation is everywhere The Devil blinds our eyes We struggle to climb a wall Just to fall on the other side The manholes are uncovered And we run with too much haste convinced we want so badly to simply have a taste but then the tide comes in and we’ve been caught off guard swept away in the undertow [again] we’ve fallen way too hard up above our Father watches just waiting for us to see that if we only ask Him He’ll give all the help we need Down below, we’re too blinded By temptations the Devil provides [alone] we still try to climb the walls that we’ve built with our own lies Nothing is too hard for God We only need to give Him a chance Just look up and see Him standing there Still holding out His hand Judges 7 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs. 8 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel so that he sold them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim, to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. 9 But when they cried out to the Lord,, he raised up for them a deliverer… who saved them. 12 Once again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and because they did this evil the LORD gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel. 13 Getting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms. 14 The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab for eighteen years. 15 Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer Jesus is there for us every single time we fall. He will deliver us out of ANY struggle, all we have to do is admit that we can’t help ourselves and ask that he be our help. He is a gentleman, and he waits for us to make that first move.
