Constantly Being Tempted

Scripture: 1Corinthians 10 [13] No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Observation: My mind wanders so much and I look at things I know I shouldn’t be looking at. I may stare at a woman, when I should turn away, I look at things that I want to buy, but have no need of and would hurt us financially, I judge people and think evil thoughts before I remember I’m looking at God’s child. I’m tempted every day and I put myself in situations to be tempted instead of doing things that can keep me away from that temptation.

Application: I know God will provide a way out I need to look for the exit instead of carousing inside. I should know whatever I’m looking at God can see through my eyes and I know it doesn’t please Him, but disappoints Him. I need to be stronger and start looking at things through God’s eyes, with God’s heart. I know I’m easily tempted so I need strength to stay away from temptation.

Prayer: My Lord forgive me for my weakness. I search out things I shouldn’t, please help me to be a better servant in this life. Keep me from temptation and guide me on the path you choose.
