Temptation is not sin in itself, but yeilding to it is.

We are all grownups here- people who are actively seeking out how to live life the way YHWH has asked us to...so I am going to be blunt here, just as we were in the episode itself.

You have been given a job. Read His scripture, understand His word, apply it to your life. So thaty is exactly how we defeat our flesh. That is exactly how we resist temptation. We learn to hate it as He would hate it, and then we wont be able to imagine a life where we give in to those temptations.

Will they disappear and never knock on our door again? Absolutely not. We will have to make this hard choice every single day. The choice to follow Him and deny this world. The choice to not live in rebellion. The choice to keep digging deeper and find His narrow path. The choice to seek other- better- things to do with our time than give in to temptation.

As Amy reminded us in this weeks episode, we are guiding our children to live in righteousness. To do so better than we ever did ourselves. Thats the mission.

As Amanda reminded us, Our "feelings" happen...but how we respond to those feelings matter.

Whether you are suffering from the ever lurking sexual temptations on this world, or battling the emotional ones. Standing toe to toe with the physical temptation that threatens to take over your life, or falling to the social temptaion to "fit in"- it is time we stop holding sin to our chests. We must let it go and place our faith- and our trust- in YHWH the Most High and in His promises.

He is our defender.

He is our redeemer.

He is our shalom.

He is our strength.

SO put down your high hand- and stop willfully and arrogantly rebelling against YHWH
