We are all tempted many times and in many ways through out our lives. But what do we do with it? Do we blame others and our circumstances or do we take responsibility?
When we see a way out, what do we do with that wisdom? Do we take the escape route or do we justify, lie and convince ourselves it’s ok to full fill our desires?
Faith in Motion
Take how ever much time you need to ponder the following.
What tempts you most?
How have temptations changed through out your life?
Really let it soak in. Then, take some time to see how the old temptations are similar to your current ones.
When you’ve finished. Confess any sins that have been revealed to you to God and ask Him for forgiveness. KNOWING that He loves you and forgives those who ask for it.
Breathe deep, forgive yourself and let it go.
If you don’t forgive yourself and God forgives you (which He will if you ask). Are you claiming that you have more authority than God?
Temptation. Where does it come from and what do we do with it?
