TEMPTATION
Have you ever
Come face to face
With the person or thing
That is the absolute worst thing
In the world for you
Where every fiber
Of your being is saying
I want this person
Or I want to
Follow my own selfish impulse
And give in to that temptation
I suggest to you
That that is where you meet God
At the deepest darkest level
Of our own souls
Temptation is something
That tests a person’s character
That either makes you
Or brakes you
Look at what happened
With Adam and Eve
We all know
What happened there
If you are being tempted
In some area
Of your life
Consider it a compliment
The devil hasn’t gotten control of you yet
So when the devil comes after
you
And he will
You have but one weapon
The Word of God
Jesus said,
“It is written
Man does not live on bread alone”
Life comes from the spirit
Jesus said,
“Worship the Lord your God
And serve him only”
Choose light over darkness
Jesus answered,
“Do not
Put the Lord your God
To the test”
Choose God
Over the flesh
You are never going
To be free from temptation
Life is an ongoing journey
But if we choose
Light over darkness
If we choose
God over the devil
If we choose good over evil
We will
Not only survive
But we will thrive
On God’s Word
And in the Lord

Ps WITNESS 3-15-13
TEMPTAION is defined as, “something that tests a person’s
righteousness
And strength of character”
“NO TEMPTATION has seized you except what is common to man
And GOD is faithful-he will NOT let you be TEMTED
Beyond what you can bear-but when you are TEMPTED
He will also provide a way out
So that you can stand up under it”
1 Corinthians 10:13
“When TEMPTED-no one should say-“God is tempting me”
For God cannot be TEMPTED by evil-nor does he TEMPT anyone”
James 1:13
