Tempted Thursday--Daily Dose of Inspiration
"When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed."(James 1:13-14 NIV)
On this tempting Thursday, as we prepare for our Sweet Lips fast, we may find ourselves tempted to speak contrary to what God
would desire. Oftentimes on this journey, we feel tempted. However, we must hold to what we see in today's scripture--I am only "tempted" when I am "dragged away" or distracted by my own desire. So today, let's check ourselves...God is not tempting me to fall away. Maybe I have that desire in my heart. Let's clean out our hearts so that we are less tempted to do wrong. We can have "sweet lips," and we do NOT have to be tempted to have sour ones! :-)
