you can’t pray, “LORD lead us not into temptation”
if at the same time, you’re flirting with temptation. you’ve got to co-operate. some of you are flirting with temptation in
many different areas. satan is baiting
your trap.
what is it that you want in your life that you’re
willing to compromise in order to get it?
a promotion? a thrill? confess it to GOD. the time to deal with temptation is right at
the start. when it starts in the desire
stage, nip it in the bud.
martin luther said, “we cannot keep the birds from
flying over us, but we can keep them from making a nest in our hair.” you cannot live in a temptation free
world. it’s all around you. it’s not
a sin to be tempted. so don’t be
intimidated by it. but it’s a sin when
you begin to dwell on that temptation and think about it so that it eventually
begins to form in your life and heart.
just a thought from the front porch…
