What if you are offered employment that will interfere with your regular attendance at Christian meetings? Your reaction is not in doubt. Long before the offer was made, you had already said no to such a job proposal. Thus, you will not need to figure out whether you can make a bad decision succeed. Recalling Jesus' determination to please his Father, you, you will quickly and firmly reject anything that you know would displease God to whom you are dedicated. - MATTHEW 4:10; JOHN 8:29.
The fact is that trials and temptations give you an opportunity to show that you are determined to "keep following," Jesus. As you do, you can be assured that Jehovah will help you. The Bible says: 'God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make your way out so that you may be able to endure it." - 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13.
