Temptation

What to do?


Sometimes
in life
we come
across people
and situations
that tempt us.
They tempt us!

Much like
Eve encountered
in the garden
with the serpent
who asked her
why not?
Why not indeed?

Why not do
what we know
we shouldn't do
except that
we know
we shouldn't do it.
Definitely know.

But we do it anyway.

We are all human and we all come across situations that tempt us.  Some of us do the right thing and walk away and some of us keep saying we shouldn't but keep doing it anyway.  Resisting is a strength of will.  Do you have what it takes to do the right thing?

I was listening to a show about Billy Graham and how he and his team prayed to not make any mistakes that might bring scandal to their ministry.  They did this by coming up with some rules to make sure that they didn't give off an appearance of evil.  Think about it...  Do you give off an appearance of evil?
