Good morning! How are we faithing? Temptations come at us from the enemy and from our own lusts. This world we live in is full of those temptations and what temps you may not me and visa versa. What the Word has taught me is to recognize the temptations that come my way. I know what pulls on me and the enemy is very good at putting them in my path when I am weak. We fall when we are weak such as mourning, despair, hurt feelings and the like. Training ourselves to remember this fact so when we are in those valleys we don't fall is very important to our own well being. Many a time a choice is made while in distress only to have to pay for it later and sometimes the penalty can last our whole life. I see results of this very thing all around. Decisions made in those valleys should be suspect and if I can interject here, don't make major decisions while traveling there. Our thinking is not sound and our eyes are clouded therefore pause and seek the Lord. The enemy has been at this for a very long time and he knows how to play his hand. Don't be afraid, just be aware.
Jas 1:12-14
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
1Pe 4:12-13
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that is living and sharper than any two edged sword. Help us recognize the fiery darts flying at us from the enemy. Help us recognize our own lusts that get in the way of our service in you. Grant us the courage to resist. Lord we lift those in those valleys today. Raise them up with hope and wisdom and with courage to laugh at the enemies of our soul and flesh. Be with the doctors who work to heal us, protect the emergency workers and be with those in need from the storms. In Jesus name, amen
