God is not the source of temptation, but the giver of every good gift (James 1:17). The best gift God gives is the Holy Spirit — the life of the age to come already at work in the present (Luke 11:13). While you're waiting for the age to come, remain steadfast in every trial!

God didn’t abandon the temple. He transformed it. It was no longer made of stone. It is now a people - a covenant community where he walks among us by his Spirit. How are you living as part of that living temple?
