Tempt

The longer you stop in an evil place, the more numerous will your temptations become. Temptations are like flies: they come one or two at the first, but by-and-by they buzz about you in swarms.CHARLES SPURGEON
It is not if we will be tempted but what we do when we are tempted. God says He will not let us be tempted beyond what we can handle. That means that in every situation that we get in there is a way out. The longer we hang around though, the tougher it will be to leave the object that is tempting us.

If you know certain things that tempt you don't go near them. The beginning of temptatin is not the start of the act but the thought of it. When something comes across your mind, that is the real battle. It is better to put out a camp fire than let it become a forest fire and then try to put it out.

Some people always say trouble follows them. In most cases they follow trouble. Don't go where you shouldn't go, stay away from things and people that seem to get you into trouble. Most of all, keep Christ as your main focuss in all that you do. We can't fight this battle alone, without Christ it is impossible.


1 Corinthians 10:13 (New King James Version)13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
In Christ name,
Dustin
