Default Temptation

Temptation

Bible Reading: Genesis 3:6-7; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Hebrews 4:15; 2:18.

When Eve looked at the forbidden tree in the garden, it was "pleasing to the eye". The fruit looked good to eat, and she wanted to gain the wisdom that the serpent promised her it would bring. Temptation is always pretty. The devil is not going to show you the ugly consequences of disobeying God. He is always going to concentrate on what looks good or feels good. When you yield to sin, it will open your eyes to its' ugliness. But God can open you eyes before you fall, if you will ask Him.

Moment of Meditation: Anticipation of a desired things is often more exciting than its' fulfillment, particularly when the thing desired is sinful.

A Talk with Jesus: Jesus, open my eyes to the deception of temptation. Amen.

For Further Study: Matthew 4:1-11; Philippians 1:9-11; 1 Corinthians 1:8-9; Hebrews 5:14; 2 Peter 2:7-9.
