A Slice of Pizza

13When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
James 1:13-14


When someone is on a diet and they see that yummy slice of pizza or any food they really enjoy eating they are tempted to eat it. But who is tempting them to eat it? Their own desire to taste the cheese and crispy crust oh and those yummy pepperonis. Our own flesh tempts us at times a long with the devil putting things in our path to tempt us. God will never tempt us but will allow those opportunities to happen so that we can grow in faith and closer to him. A lot of times people blame God or the devil for temptation in their life but the truth is our own sin is the one that tempts us, our flesh is the one that causes us to stumble this is why we have to spend time in prayer and in the word so that when temptation to sin is in front of us we have the spiritual strength to say no and turn around and run. I am not on a diet, so all that pizza talk made me want to order one 

God bless,
