Temptation runs rapidly in the world. It will always be there. God gives His kids free will to decide. Don’t disappoint, choose wisely.

Our world is full of temptations, and we need to remain constantly alert and not forget about the dangers. Like Adam and Eve, we easily get entangled in attractions that make the things of this world seem “good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom” (Gen. 3:6).

“Be on your guard,” Paul admonished, “stand firm in the faith” (1 Cor. 16:13). And Peter cautioned, “Be alert and of SOBER mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

As we work for our own daily bread, are we alert to what could start consuming us? Are we watching for any int of self-confidence or willfulness  that could leave us wishing we had trusted our God?

The best way to escape temptation is to run to God!

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith. — 1 Corinthians 16:13
