Good morning! How are we faithing? Ever been tempted by something then acted on it only to realize later you screwed up? Of course you have! We all have. We all will. We all fall for the same lies over and over because of the body we occupy and the mind we fail to harness. The Word talks about our tongues being such a chore to control.  Lust, greed, self focus make us consider things that in our right mind we would not consider doing. Learning to recognize those thoughts and lassoing them before they take root is so very important. You are not the first or the last to face those things so don't even entertain worthlessness thoughts. Taking these thoughts captive, averting your eyes if necessary, staying away from the things that trap you, are all wise choices. If you have trouble with alcohol, don't frequent bars. If you have trouble with smoking, don't join a cigar club. If you can't stop whatever, don't expose your self to the sin that is tempting you. Can you stop all temptation? Only if you are dead but you can limit some exposure. As you take in the Word daily, try keeping it in the front of you all day and believe me, you will be reminded when those temptations present themselves...

Psa 62:2
 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

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.

 Heavenly Father,

   Thank you for your Word. Thank you for always giving us an out. Help us be aware when those fiery darts fly our way. Give us the courage to act holy. In Jesus name, amen
