Day 203 of 365: Our temptations

It's nice to have a day off, but it's a curse in itself. Especially when laziness kicks in. To fight it, i tried to be active. i pushed myself to start it with devotions. It really is different when you begin with God. Something I need to work on. At times, i wish i could wake up early and alert to study God's word. i bet that will make a difference. It's definitely something i need to train myself to do. Well, this morning, i believe that God is teaching me. Teaching me something about temptation because it came out again when i was studying the BSF notes. And pastor Korch spoke about temptation this past Sunday, so this has to be a topic worth looking out for. What the BSF notes said was that temptation is disobedience towards God's will. God does not tempt us to do anything because that is not of His nature (James 1:13-14). So that leaves Satan being the tempter and if we give in to our temptations, that means sin comes into the picture. And when we sin, we disobey and dishonor God. Who are you living for and how convicted are you at which side you stand for?
