James 1:14 (NASB) "But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust."I can walk right by it and never give it another thought and yet my wife will have this desire to grab a piece! I am talking about chocolate, for me there is no temptation to eat it as I don't like chocolate and yet my wife does! For her, the temptation comes and she must decide for herself whether to be carried away by the desire to enjoy a piece! Today's verse speaks that each of us is tempted and enticed by our own lusts. God created us as individuals, with desires and lusts different than others but the key is whether or not we allow those temptations to cause us to sin. Eating a piece of chocolate isn't a sin unless we make that chocolate our god! (notice the small "g") Each of us will have to decide whether to walk the path of righteousness or fall to the temptations and sin. Always comes down to choice! But know one thing, with each temptation, God will give us an escape path to take when the temptation becomes too great! Keeping looking for your escape path, then walk down it! Better choice than sinning, don't ya' think! peace, tom
