Scripture: Hebrews 2: [18] Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.<\/p>\n
Observation: Each day I\u2019m tempted, whether to look at something on the internet that I shouldn\u2019t, say something unkind to get back at someone, to take something that\u2019s not mine and sin in general. I\u2019ve used the scripture away from me Satan as it is written worship the Lord your God only. But instead of turning to Jesus right away I get caught up in my mind with things I want to do and shouldn\u2019t and the enemy has a ball at those times.<\/p>\n
Application: Jesus wasn\u2019t tempted because his eyes were fixed on the Father and his will for his life, just the way mine should be. There is nothing in this world I need more than God and doing his will. First I need to stay away from temptation, fix my eyes on what I should be doing for the Lord, ask Jesus for help and lead a Godly life in glory and honor to Him. Everything I do should be for God and not for me.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Jesus I need your help each day. My mind wanders and I seek out the things I want instead of what you want for me. I\u2019m only here because you desire me to be. Help me stay on course and bear fruit before I come home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
