Today's Scripture *March 20-21, 2010*
James 1: 12-15
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong,[a] and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
Temptation comes from evil desires within, not from God. It begins with an evil thought. It becomes sin when we dwell on the thought and allow it to become an action. Like a snowball rolling downhill, sin grows more destructive the more we let it have it's way. The best time to stop a temptation is before it is too great or moving too fast to control.
(1 Corinthians 10:13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.; 2 Timothy 2: 22 Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.)
Lord, we worship You in spirit and in truth! We trust and adore You above all else.
Lead us not into temptation Lord, but deliver us from evil. May we keep our eyes fixed on You!
We trust that You will be with us through all things and in all things that we can turn to You.
May our desires be in line with Your Word and Your will for our lives.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless and have a wonderful Son-filled weekend!
