Temptation
Temptation came to visit one day.
He wanted to know if he could visit or perhaps stay.
Temptation, Temptation, I do not know.
Temptation replied, “Let me stay, please. I have much to show.
Life can be so dull when there is nothing to do.
Please let me spend the day with you.”
Temptation, Temptation that sounds risky at best;
Is this a test?
It is no test, and you will see.
It is learning how to have fun before eternity.
The last time you visited, God had an escape for me.
He did not want me to sin.
Temptation, you are not my friend.
Mainly when you entice me to sin;
Go away, and never come back again.
A THOUGHT TO REFLECT ON
If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!

November 5, 2022 at 4:25 pmI had to think on this question for a bit. exploring how mature Christians face temptations I realize we face many temptations daily, often small in nature but temptations non the less. We must stand and when we have done all we can do we must keep standing. This may mean forgiving ourselves and bracing our stance to lean intentionally on the Word of God.
