James 1:12-15
“God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.”
We all seem to hate test! But tests are a good judge for where we are at; or how far along we have come. The test of temptation is one we will face but it is definitely one we cannot afford to lose. Notice it says that temptation comes from our own selfish desires.
CHALLENGE:
Today I will look at what temptation I struggle with and look inside myself to find the root of it. If I do not kill the root it will grow into something deadly. Also, I will find someone (an accountability partner) to tell this to.
