Willing

Where does temptation come from? The world? The flesh? The devil? Well, one thing we know for sure is that it doesn’t come from God.

A willing heart to give what we have is all Jesus wants and all he needs. He will take what you have and turn it into what he needs…with leftovers.

Whether the source is the world, the flesh, or the devil, at the end of the day we own our disobedience.

If you are not willing to forgive others of their relatively small debt, God will not forgive you of the great debt you have accumulated.

What are you planting today that you will never see grow?

Today’s passage makes this truth clear: You cannot blame your present sin on the sin of others. You are personally held responsible for your actions.

As a young person (this instruction applies to young men as well) matures and becomes sexually aware, it is the parents’ responsibility to encourage proper behavior and restrict improper behavior.

Jesus’ command to His disciples rings through the ages, “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” Moment by moment, day by day, watch and pray. Temptation is always around the corner. A fall is only a step away.
