Perception of reality can also be described as a deceptive facade.  Lean on God's knowledge and insight if you're in that place.

We don't define out of bounds, or right or wrong.  When we're tempted we often refuse to listen to what God is saying.  

It's tough, but shifting focus away from temptation and towards the Holy Spirit is the one and only way to avoid making that mistake.  It's not easy, but it IS essential.

A craving, a desire that is out of bounds of righteous and healthy is not a good place to go.  Resting under the banner of Jesus Christ is a sure way to fight it.

Prayer is your custom channel connection to God.  He uses that channel to communicate an escape from temptation's lure.  Are you tuned in?

Resisting temptation.  You've been there.  You also might know someone who is there right now.  Are you able to help them?

Freedom to choose is a privilege, but it may result in painful consequences.  Enduring temptation is winning over bad choices, with great rewards.

Sin's consequences cannot compete with the faith that clings to God's love.  Temptation is powerless when God is at the center of your decision.

Weak?  You bet we're weak.  That's why God's word is so important in our day to day decisions.  Are you engaging in conversation with Him?

Take the easy way, or take the road to the cross?  That's a pretty serious challenge, UNLESS you are listening to the ONE who understands what the right path is.
