There Is No Sin In Being Tempted
But
There Is A Problem With
Being Regularly Tempted By The Same Sin!
Falling Into Divers Aka Different Temptations
Suggests Onward, Upward, Mobility In Our Christian Growth!
All Christians Must Grow Up In Grace!
Beloved,
Nobody Plans To Fall!
Falling Happens When One Is Unaware Of A Pitfall
Is Careless About One's Surroundings
Or One Just Loses One's Balance!
We Are Warned Of The Devil's Devices
And
We Know
And
Should Be Within The Hedge Of Protection That
The Lord Provides For His People!
When We Find Ourselves Being Tempted By
And
Giving Into The Same Temptation
And
Committing The Same Sin Repeatedly
We Need To Take Stock Of Our Thoughts
Look At Those With Whom We Are Walking
And
Reevaluate Our Commitment To Christ
And
Our Growth In His Grace!
The Temptation
That Is Not
Forcefully Resisted
The First Time That It Appears
Comes Back Harder And Harder To Resist
Each Time That We Fail To Overcome It!
Think Carefully ...
A Healthy And Fit Person Crawling Like A Baby
Has A Problem Which Must Be Patiently Corrected
And
Likewise The Christian Who Is Not Forcefully
Patiently, Prayerfully
Daily Conquering The Minor Temptations
To Grow Strong Spiritual Muscles
To Deal With The Major Temptations Known Up Ahead!
Be Wise ...
Don't Play With Temptation!
Chop Off Temptation's Head By The Word Of Truth
And
Stay Constantly In Prayer:
Take Your Burden To The Lord
Pray For The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
Take The Living God At His Holy Word
And
Dare To Walk ... Enduringly ... In Unfailing Faith!
Jesus Christ ... Alone ... Saves!
Your Temptation
Is
Dressed To Thrill You!
Have A "Thus Saith The Lord"
At The Ready To Decimate It!
