Word of the Day: Flee temptation!

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 26:41

Among his many works, C.S. Lewis wrote an interesting book titled The Screwtape Letters. In it, our attention is drawn to the many and varied schemes of the Devil in tempting God's children. At one point Screwtape, a demon, writes to his nephew, 'Junior Temper' Wormwood: "I have great hopes that we shall learn in due time how to emotionalize and mythologize their science to such an extent that what is, in effect, a belief in us (though not under that name) will creep in while the human mind remains closed to belief in the Enemy."

We must not forget that the Enemy of God is cunning, hates us, and wants to destroy us. He will constantly navigate us towards sin in creative and ingenious ways. That's where the danger lies...

That's why it's so important not to let our guard down! Evaluate your own life, and notice which areas are more inclined to give in to sin. Watch over them and pray, calling upon the Lord for help!

When temptation is strong, the Bible's advice is to flee. Recognizing your weakness and getting out of a dangerous situation is not a reason for shame - it's evidence of being wise. This is especially true for sexual temptation and other very strong temptations. Avoid situations where you know you will be tempted. Submit to God; He will help you overcome your struggle against sin.

Flee from the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

- 2 Timothy 2:22

Overcome temptation by wearing The Armor of God.

Word of the Day: Be ready for a complete transformation

We will see changes in our situations when we embrace the help of God. God wants to give us a complete and satisfying life. But we have to learn to fight for what is important and to call upon the power of God.

‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Jeremiah 33:3

When you call out to God, He hears you and comes to your aid. God does not ignore your prayers but faithfully acts to answer your pleas.

Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.
Isaiah 65:24

Do not think that if you do not receive an immediate answer, God has forgotten you. It is not so, changes aren't necessarily immediate. He listens to you and takes action,

Sometimes He shapes us with gentle touches. Just as the potter molds clay with patience and dedication, God molds us to become more like Him.

The important thing is that you allow Him to do His work in you. For example, if you struggle with fear, ask God to help you trust in His protective power. Call out to the Father. Fill your heart with trust. And also, allow Him to transform you every day, to give you encouragement and courage. Fill your heart more with His Spirit and let Him transform you so that you can be more like Jesus.

God can transform you in every part of your life, for example:

  • Family: God can transform the family by bringing love, forgiveness, and unity. God can heal wounds, strengthen bonds, and build a nurturing environment when we become more Christ-like, and embrace his teachings.

  • Relationships: God can transform us through his gifts of unconditional love and complete forgiveness. When we show others biblical love, respect, and selflessness, God can bring restoration, harmony, and mutual growth.

  • Work: God transforms us in the workplace by inspiring integrity, excellence, and humility. By relying on His wisdom and strength, we can approach our work with diligence, stewardship, and a servant's heart. God can also provide opportunities for growth, promotion, and using our skills to glorify Him.

  • Ministry: God brings transformation by equipping us with the fruits of the spirit, passion, and vision to serve others. He deepens our faith, compassion, and dependence on Him as we seek to fulfill His calling. Through prayer, discipleship, and obedience to His Word, God can empower us to impact lives, build His kingdom, and bring glory to His name.
