Temptation is real, yet resistible!

Are you tempted in your weakest traits of your life or in what you thought were your strongest traits?  Often we neglect to cover ourselves in a manner that will build a shield against the evils of this world.  Often we leave our strongest traits open because we think...”I’ve got this” because I am strongest in a particular area.  We work to cover and strengthen our weaker traits.  Well, believe it or not, the area in which we feel more secure is where evil tries to break us down; to damage our self esteem; to decrease our confidence and generate fear and doubt.  Please don’t fall for the tricks of evil beings and actions.

Faith in God is our source to shield us from evil.  The Word of God (Ephesians 6: 10 - 18) advises us to put on the whole armor of God, daily, to protect us against the wiles of the enemy.  Temptation is real and can turn our lives tops-turvy if we aren’t mindful of the evil desires that are available to us.  If we let down our guard and accept the charm, persuasion and attractiveness of the temptation take place in our mind, heart and soul, then we are on our way to discourse in our lives.  Our futures may be derailed.  Friends, if it is too good to be true; too easy to achieve, had to answer immediately without time to process a decision, may I suggest that you run as fast as possible in the other direction.  Pray constantly for wisdom and discernment.  Walk and live in faith.  The Word of God states that “We Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Us!” (Philippians 4:13)

 Resist Temptation, trust God, be strong and let’s keep our eyes, ears, and minds tuned in to the truths of God’s Word.
