Today’s Word of the Day is Submit. What does Submit mean to you ? How does it apply to your life ?
Today I heard the definition of Temptation on the Abide App from Tyler Boss and it hit home .
“Temptation -overwhelming desire to do something especially something wrong or unwise”. Tyler Boss
”Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.“
James 1:14 NLT
What are we running to when we run away from sin?
Many outside influences affect our daily living and can affect us in a positive and negative way. We should not allow negative outside influences/ external sources to affect us on our daily walk. Turn from the enemy and run towards your Higher Power. He Loves You. He is forgiving, Caring all knowing. He is with us on our walk and wants the best for us . Does the enemy want what’s best for us during periods of Temptation? Our Higher Power will Forgive us . will Anger, Hate, Resentment,Self Destructive Behavior, Vile Words, Emotional and/or Physical manipulation forgive us or is it once we say or react a certain way it is there and absolutely nothing we can do and/or say will take it back. We should steer our words and actions towards our Higher Powerand not Temptation. Temptation = Dead End, we have the power and ability to turn around and go back the other direction. Not to mention when we turn around we’re not alone He’s right there. This applies to Us today and every day we have the ability to turn around from Temptation and head the direction of our Loving Father. There are so many negative external influences that are capable of affecting the way we act. But this should not be where our focus is , Our focus should be on the attitudes and beliefs we possess, and the words and actions that follow our Higher Power . Our words and actions are extremely powerful let’s make them positive and uplifting not harmful and/or detrimental. Do the work of turning around at the dead end and ask for directional ( assistance) . Asking for assistance does not make you weak nope totally the opposite it shows your sheer strength. Love you all . Love each other. Just Keep Going.
