We are still studying the topic of temptation in our Tuesday night Bible study. It is a huge topic since it affects each one of us differently. Satan knows exactly what we each struggle with and he wants to make us fall so badly. There are positives about temptation, though. #1 - We are tempted because we are followers of Christ. Satan wouldn't bother with us unless we were a threat to him. Someone sent me an email the other day that said the following: "Live your life in a way that causes satan to shudder when your feet hit the floor in the morning". If he is working hard against you - you're living your life the way you should. #2 Being tempted just gives you an opportunity to make the right choice. Being tempted is not a sin - even Jesus was tempted, but He made the right choice every time. Rejoice in the fact that God allows us opportunities to grow in our faith, by saying yes to Him.

Have a great day making those right choices
Christie
