Temptation

The reason why many fail in battle is because they wait until the hour of battle...Anticipate your battles; fight them on your knees before temptation comes, and you will always have victory."R.A. Torrey
If we have something big coming up in our lives we prepare for it. We study for test, look into a project before investing our time or money, or the simple things as getting together a grocery list. We want to be ready so we are at our best when the event comes. But without prayer we are wasting our time. Prayer is the most important thing we do every day as a christian. If we come up on temptation and we are not prepared we can be dragged in very deep. There is a story about a fish that got caught by a fisherman. He was sitting at the bottom of the pond one day when he say a worm floating by. He thought to himself, that looks very good. He got a little closer and thought it might be a trick I better stay away from it, but by now the temptation had become to much for him to resist and he took a bite of the worm and was caught. When did the fish get caught? When the fisherman reeled him in or when he said," That looks good?" We can be caught just as easy in our daily lives by lust, greed, envy, hatred, and many other sins.Prepare your self with prayer for todays challanges, before it is to late.
