Slow fade

We all know the definition of temptation: To entice someone to sin, and it starts slowly. The devil is real good at this. So be on guard.
 
God’s word says in Hosea: 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."

Seeking Him, knowing His voice, that still small voice in the back of your head, of knowing right from wrong.  Either sin will keep you from God’s word, or God’s word will keep you from sin. We can pick our sin, but we can’t pick the consequence that comes with it... and it will come, because sin leads to consequences and heartache.

Being a teenager in the dating game - to being an adult and mother wanting to spare her kids the pain she knows so well.  It starts with holding hands, a kiss, being in a car too long after a date with the goodbye being longer than it should be, to going to each other’s house when parents aren’t home...

Matthew 26:41 says that you may think your strong, but one thing does leads to another. God’s word is there to protect us, not harm us. He is our father, and loves us so much. What parent doesn’t want to spare their children pain and harm? He knows what consequences can come from doing the things His word warns us not to do: Sexually transmitted disease, unwanted babies, abortion.

You may be in a marriage and sometimes feel so alone, and unloved. So then your eyes and heart start to wander, looking for comfort in everything else but Jesus.  1 John 2: 15-17, Don’t let that spark become a RAGING fire. God is always there for you, to protect you. Sin is truly a slow fade, and it starts at a glance - 2 Timothy 2 :22-26  - Don’t fall into the devils trap, and you will, if the God who created you is not your Father.

From the moment you tell Jesus that you’ve given yourself to Him as your Savior from sin, God becomes your father, and you become His child. Have you told Jesus He is your only hope? If not, don’t wait another second - John 10:28 - You will never be snatched from His hand... Don’t run your own life, give it to the One who gave it to you.
 
We are weak but He is STRONG!!!!!
