another question to as to predetermine
your pattern of temptation is “where am i most tempted?” you need to
look at where.
are you tempted most at work? maybe you sit next to a really handsome or really gorgeous co-worker at work and that’s tempting to you. or maybe you’re tempted most in the kitchen. maybe you’re tempted most in the bedroom or the bathroom. maybe you’re tempted most when you’re at your neighbor’s house. or maybe when you go into 7-11. and there’s a certain wrack there with a certain kind of magazine. if you know it tempts you, you just don’t go there. or the video poker machines.
real simple. if you don’t want to get stung you stay away from the bees. you don’t go there.
some of you are most tempted when you go to a sports bar. some of you are most tempted when you’re sitting in front of a computer. and the temptation to pornography is so great or video poker.
on and on, you need to know not only when you’re tempted but you need to know where you get tempted most.
and then ask, “who am i with when i’m most tempted?” who is with me when i’m the most tempted?
some of you are most tempted when you’re alone. and when you’re alone, you think nobody’s watching. or when you’re alone you think, i’m lonely. when you’re alone, you may feel a little irritated or a little anxious.
some of you, other temptations, it isn’t when you’re alone at all when you’re tempted. you’re tempted when you’re out with the guys. or the girls. you’re most tempted when you’re with a group of people who want to do something wrong but you don’t want to do it but you don’t know how to say no when there’s peer pressure. everybody’s doing it. it’s not when you’re alone. it’s when you’re with a group of people.
some of you are most tempted when you’re with a co-worker. some of you are tempted most when you’re in a crowd of strangers and you think, nobody knows who i am. some temptations come most when you’re with your family. some of you say mean things to your family that you would never say to anybody else. you’re tempted to act in certain ways in your family or in your home and you would never treat anybody at work that way.
you need to know where you’re tempted most.
Just a thought from the front porch…
