Today's
E-Votion Patience:
The ability to stand strong no matter what hostile device is assaulting you (my
definition)
James
Chapter 1 14
But
every man
is tempted,
when he is drawn away
of
his own
lust,
and
enticed.

now we know where the temptation comes from and most of the trouble in our
lives. By the way, this evotion is not designed to make you feel bad in
any way. You probably do a good job of doing that yourself. Here
is the sin story. There are things out there that tempt us. I won't
make a list, because you already know. The
enemy of our souls has observed us to know our weak points and sends some
elements of that weakness our way. Lust
for that thing entices us. So we have a choice. We can follow HIS
path (JESUS)
or we can follow our inner desire (lust). And this is not only speaking of
sexual lust, but of a powerful desire for the things of this world. Remember
in the Parable of the Sower, one of the things that chokes out the Word of GOD
is the desire for the things of this world and the cares that go with it. So,
as we continue to learn how to stand strong like a warrior we see that it is
good to partake of the things of this world to a point! But when
they become so strong in our desires that we are drawn from the Path of JESUS,
we get into trouble. So,
Stand Strong on HIS
Word and see less trouble come your way. A
