Wednesday, May 12, Temptation

I know temptation is allowed to come to help me become strong, but I wish it would just leave me alone. Most of my temptations come through avenues that I have opened up in the past. Satan knows I like those things and constantly throws them at me. It takes being in the word daily and constant communication with God to overcome them. His promises are a good shield against them. Our loose society doesn't help, but it really doesn't matter. It is my choice to entertain or reject temptation when it comes. Father, help me to hold on to your promises and trust in you. Help me to accept your help in resisting temptation.
