The temptation to sin surrounds me daily. If it isn't one thing its another. I find myself constantly praying that I do not fall short of the glory of God. Truth is, every now and then, I do fall. I do surrender to temptation. After each time, I am left feeling horrible and very apologetic. Last week we spoke about disobedience. Disobedience happens when one is unable to resist the temptation to sin. This week we will face temptation head on and learn how to flee in the event it comes knocking at our door.
The stronger my relationship with Christ becomes, the harder Satan tries to break it up. To be completely transparent, I have a boyfriend. We have been together nearly three years. About a year ago we decided that we would live for Christ and we would do what thus says the Lord. This includes refraining from sex until marriage. Together we strive to be a support system for one another to refrain from going against the word of God. We have found other ways other than sex to grow closer to each other and express our affection.
Nevertheless, there are times when it becomes hard to bare. There are times when we both just want to give into sin and satisfy our physical "needs". We don't do it though. We resist it. We remember the God that has been blessing our lives and we remember how God has been blessing our relationship. Its important to us both that we please God.
It isn't easy to maintain that mentality. This week we will explore steps on how to recognize and resist subjecting ourselves to temptation.
Until Next Time...
