Temptation

Thursday was one heck of a day...let me tell you.

God used a handful of unusual circumstances this week to remind me of that I am man, and He is God.

Someone told me Sunday that after your greatest victories come your biggest trials and temptations. I halfheartedly responded saying that I knew and that I was prepared to handle whatever was to come.

Little did I know what I would face this week and yesterday I finally broke.

This week I was reminded that I am NEVER above temptation. And also that like Paul says I will always be growing and changing...Christs work in me is not finished until the day He returns to bring me home. It was also revealed to me just how selfish I really am.

As I was reflecting this morning I was very much grieved by my sin...which I believe is how it should be. We can't ignore our sin...because it is exactly what put Jesus on the cross. Now I'm not talking sin like drugs and alcohol, but sin like selfishness, greed, and envy.

I'm so thankful that Gods mercies are new every morning and that yesterday is considered my past. It's been a tough week but Gods strength is perfected in my weakness which brings Him the ultimate glory.

So happy its Friday...looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. God is good...He knew the things I would face this week and He wasn't rattled, I take comfort in that. In fact, He used the things I faced this week to challenge me, grow me, and use me in ways I wouldn't of that possible. I love Him.
