Temptations Proverbs 1:10

Good morning everyone!!! I hope you have a super day in the Lord Jesus Christ, our saviour. What a man to have on your team!!!! Let our prayer be that we fulfill what He wants us to be, that others will see Jesus in us. It is so easy to fall into step with the world. Just a little restraint, prayer, and remaining faithful to the Lord will take us through many.....no.....all situations!!!! We know this, but do we do it? NOOOOO! Yesterday we read about spiritual warfare, and this can also be....or run right along with temptations. Proverbs 1:10 "IF SINNERS ENTICE YOU, TURN YOUR BACK ON THEM." Sounds easy doesn't it? Sometimes what they want to do would be physically enjoyable and we are definately tempted. How strong is your faith? How strong are you in Jesus? Matthew 6:13 "AND DON'T LET US YIELD TO TEMPTATION." Let prayer be a constant focus, specially when we get into compromising situations. Stay focused on Jesus!!!! We are instructed to continually grow in the Lord. Do not become stagnant, ritualistic, just going through the motions. If I get up daily and really want to be with the Lord and stay in communication with him, my day will end up victorious for Jesus. Now, this is not to say it will be a day without trials and temptations, but it will be a day of growth for the Lord. Isn't that what we are all trying to do, grow in our faith? Our growth as a Christian brings constant growth, awareness and sensitivity to the temptations in your life. Titus 2:12 "AND WE ARE INSTRUCTED TO TURN FROM GODLESS LIVING AND SINFUL PLEASURES." When we do turn away, then Psalms 1:1 "OH, THE JOYS OF THOSE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF THE WICKED." Hey, get out, go kick some major temptations tail, and claim the victory in Jesus. You can't do it alone, but you can do it with the help of Jesus. Just call on Him and He will not let you down. Thank you for reading today, take time to pray for yourself first, get rid of your burdens, turn them all over to Jesus, give them to God. When you give them, really give them, turn and walk away knowing your Father will take care of everything. Please pray for our educators as school has or will soon be starting. Pray for everything. STOP, DROP, AND PRAY. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
