Temptation Recurrent
Luke 4:5-8
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.…


But that tyranny is uncessant, the hatred of the devil hath no stint; expect it, be ready for it, and let it not sting your conscience with horror if you find somewhat within you always warring against the Spirit; temptations are not like some diseases, which are not incident to a man above once in his life, escape once and secure for ever, but like hereditary infirmities which are ever recurring to torment the flesh. A quotidian is more like to be cured, if it be well looked to, than an ague whose paroxysms keep longer distance.

(Bishop Hacker.)
