Be aware of temptations

S - Scripture    
Proverbs 7 v. 12  Now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait.  

O - Observation

Temptation. This verse is describing specifically the temptation of harlotry, or adultery or sexual sin. But it really describes all temptations. They are there, they are every where. Note: temptation in itself is not a sin. After all, Jesus was tempted. It's what you do with it that becomes a sin. God gives us some encouragement regarding temptation. 1 Corinthians 10 v. 13; "No temptation has over taken you that is NOT common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." The key to temptation is playing the odds. There are certain situations, patterns in life that make succumbing to temptations easy. So.. try to avoid those situations. If you find yourself in the situation, leave it. Improve your odds of not falling into sin by limiting the chances.

 

A - Application

Jesus, As you taught us, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Love Will.
