James 1:12 "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him"
It is such a struggle to do right sometimes. Doing right takes a lot of thinking and planning on our parts. The Bible says that we are all tempted when we enticed by our own lust. And when we have given ourselves to that lust we have gone into sin, and sin always brings death. Why would we want to choose to be around death?
Notice what our verse says though, "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation..." We can have a blessed life, we just have to discipline ourselves to not give into the temptations that we are faced with each day. That is to say we must learn to tell ourselves - NO. That's right tell yourself, NO!
We will always be tempted of something. And once you get victory over something that tempts you often, something else will come along to tempt you as well. Just say NO, and live the blessed life. The choice is your.
