Today’s Thought Regarding This Post.
We all make decisions that appeal to the flesh, think about it? Satan never tempts us by offering spiritual growth, improving prayer life, or more effective ways to share our faith. No, Satan always appeals to the flesh, not to the spirit. There is nothing wrong with our God-given desires; but Satan takes these legitimate longings and, with our cooperation, gets them out of balance.
As he did with Eve, the Devil appeals to three yearnings we all have-human appetites, beauty, and knowledge. Then he twists them so that instead of simply desiring and enjoying them, we begin to lust after them and be controlled by them. Learn to recognize that you are at war, and your mind is the battlefield he uses to deposit his lies daily.
You must keep sinful thoughts from invading and lingering because you will be surprised to find out later, that they eventually will turn into daydreams that might lead to unholy or negative desires.
You don’t have to look far to see the depravity of the human heart at work today. The heart is desperately wicked says the Word of God. Are you reading the headlines of the country's newspapers lately? How about the evening news, are you of late keeping up with what is happening in our country? It is appalling how far this nation has turned away from God!
In His service,
Rev. Dr. Lawrence S . Thompson
