Okay, did it say it was hot here…well, I got hotter Wednesday! Not only the temperatures, which are brutal, but it’s summer in southern Illinois and we’d likely whine if it were cold. However, the spiritual temperature has risen also. Tuesday I shared that the question Josh brought to us was “What do we do with Jesus?”, the most important question we will ever face. Today he offered us what he says is the second most important question: "What do we do with temptation?" As Josh shared, we all face temptation and will continue to face temptation… regardless of how good, dedicated, or religious you might be…but what do you do with that? Do you surrender to it or do you fight it? God has offered us armor and a weapon to fight temptation with…God has even promised us His strength to fight temptation…so why do so many surrender to it? (on a side note, I find it interesting that those who will surrender to temptation are the same ones who resist surrendering to Jesus as Lord of their lives…but then they are directly related!). Can’t wait to see what today brings; weather forcast is HOT…so is the spiritual forcast!
