The Daily Blueprint for 11-29-07
James: book of Godly wisdom - part 11
JAMES 1:15
...Then when lust is concieved , it brings forth sin: and sin,when it has finished, brings forth death.
I have went ahead and decided not to do a devotional tomorrow- I will just send out an update on my wife's progress after surgery - I may wait till Saturday to send an update and Livin in Prayer may be postponed until next Saturday -thanks for your prayers and support!Daniel
...And now for today's message.....
You can see the transition that James is making in today's verse -first he tells us that sin is conceived in the heart- it begins with a thought - a thought to do something we know through conviction of the Holy Spirit to be wrong -temptation brings that hidden thought to light and if we give in -it leads to sin - this is why Jesus said if you lust for a women in your mind - its just as bad as actually committing adultery Not that Jesus meant in a physical way - but that it will turn into something more if we allow it to - Jesus says to stop before we even get to that point -we all know what will trigger us to give in -we know how far to go and often we push pass the limit and give in -only later to feel very guilty before God- its too bad we have trouble not giving in - Jesus - our example endured temptation we will never face - and HE has given us the power to do stand up against it - when we do give in and sin comes to life - it leads to death - its been so hard to hear of so many passing this month -death is more and more common to you the longer you live -I know we don't like to think about death -but we must - its the end result of sin - you see all have sinned - sin entered the world and the perfection God made for us was gone - only to be restored by Jesus!
Lets recognize our temptations - and our limits and trust God to keep us on the right path that leads only to Him - He does not want us to give into temptation and get caught in sin -for He knows this will lead to death.
a side note: There is always a way out of giving into temptation - just follow CHRIST and HE will show you the way.....
in CHRIST we are given life even when we deserve death.
