Temptation

“You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.”
Matthew 4:10

Reflection

Temptation often becomes powerful through rationalization. Freedom grows when you notice the decision point before it becomes a habit.

Pray

Lord, help me recognize temptation before I rename or excuse it. Give me strength during the few moments when a decision becomes a pattern.

Amen.

Declare

I can choose what strengthens the person I am becoming.
