James 1:12 12 Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such
a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has
promised to those who love him.
While at Camp Glisson recently I took some time to quietly
watch the stream that meanders through the property. The water doesn’t travel in a straight
line. Instead because it follows the
path of least resistance it has many twists and turns. We can relate that to
our life. Following the paths of least
resistance, giving in to the temptation to do things the most expedient if not
the right way will delay us from achieving the goal that God has in store for
us. Life is about give and take but it
is also about recognizing when we are being tempted to make poor choices. Jesus prayed for God to deliver people from
times of temptation and from evil. Let us sincerely pray that prayer for
ourselves each day.
Our Father, please lead us not into temptation and deliver
us from evil. Open our eyes to the best decisions for our lives. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
God bless,
Paige
