Good morning! How are we faithing? Reality bites sometimes and we don't really know what to do with it. The things that people do because of self satisfaction truly is amazing. Why would we do some of the things we do? We give in to desires, we do things that please our senses and we flat screw up. Why? Why would we walk headlong into something knowing the consequences will be awful? Sure sometimes ignorance does play a part, I know I've done some stupid things out of ignorance but we're talking about knowing and doing anyways. Giving into temptation as it were. Did God tempt you? Did the enemy or did you simply give into a lust of whatever it may be? Ah, now the truth is right before our eyes. We wanted it so we went and got it, sometimes regardless of the consequences and if that be the case, shut up, you did it to yourself. Now it's time, as soon as you recognize it, to repent. No temptation you are or have faced is unusual. It may be new to you but take the Bible's word on this, it ain't new. What is really cool is unlike the Apostles, we have their example and their writings to learn from. We are forewarned about certain things in this life so we can make wiser choices and thank God for those scriptures! As you go through your day, take note of your actions and reactions and tonight when you get home, take off the ego hat, get in the scriptures, and look honestly at your day.
1Co 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Eph 6:10-12
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Gal 6:1-2
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day that you have made. Lord, we are a little unsure of the future and thus a little apprehensive. We ask for your peace just envelop us. We ask for wisdom in our minds and heart and on our tongues. We ask for wisdom to reach the lost ones. Lord, equip us so we may do your work. We lift up the sick ones. We lift our leaders up to you. Lord, we honor you and praise you in Jesus name, amen
