Temptations can be oh so subtle or at times ~ they may scream "GIVE IN NOW" How will I handle them...Just as you have shared <br /><br />And we will pray. We will ask God for wisdom to recognize our innate sinfulness. We will ask God for His strength and energy to put down and kill those wicked proclivities. We will ask God to be victorious because we have done our part and we have trusted Him<br /><br />Thank you Gregg<br /><br />Have a blessed weekendLorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342381156917160229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-16792389535989198992010-04-23T17:26:07.036-07:002010-04-23T17:26:07.036-07:00Great post as usual, Gregg! :)Great post as usual, Gregg! :)Beth Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047047792782914757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-52945951369182862852010-04-23T17:13:58.574-07:002010-04-23T17:13:58.574-07:00Great post Gregg....Thanks very much brother, for ...Great post Gregg....Thanks very much brother, for sharing this all important problem (issue) that faces each and everyone of us on daily basis......The greatest example to flee temptation is demonstrated by Joseph, when he said to Potiphar's wife "Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" Gen 39:8-9. We always need to flee from all forms of temptation, because the end result is habitual sin. Paul reminded us that we always have a way out of all temptation... "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” 1 Cor 10:12-13. The question is are we really looking for the door that He has for us to escape in?

I don't want to live that way anymore. Thanks Gregg for showing us that there is another way, if we so choose it.

When I first read the title I thought "No - don't want to think about the T word!" I so liked what you said about temptation testing a person's fidelity.

God promised to always provide a way out. But sadly, we take the wrong door instead. Glad you shared about this.
