Door to Temptation - 18th April 2014 Todays Scripture “I am your shield, your very great reward” - (Genesis 15:1). Thoughts for Today There is a childrens story that tells of a dog with a big juicy bone crossing over a small footbridge. He stops long enough to gaze down into the pool of water beneath the bridge and sees what he believes is another dog with an even bigger bone! Instead of being happy with what he has been given, he drops his bone and lunges forward to take the other dog’s bone. But there was no other dog and no other bone.What he saw was his own reflection in the water below. His entanglement with greed and deception caused him to lose what was precious to him. Many people live their lives in a state of comparison. They look at what others have and want more than what they have been given. Discontentment and jealousy fill their hearts and the result of their attitudes is disastrous. Once we open a door to temptation, the enemy is quick to respond. Selfishness, envy, and jealousy have one end: sorrow and defeat. If you have allowed any one of these attitudes to set up shop in your life, ask God to tear down the stronghold and forgive you for your faithlessness. He has a marvelous plan for your life, and you do not have to envy the life of another. SAY THIS: Our Loving Heavenly Father, cleanse me from all thoughts of envy and jealousy. Teach me to be satisfied with Your blessings in my life. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen. Have a Blessed Friday and God Bless you.
