Each One Is Tempted…
Sin likes to play dress up. The devil knows our weak spots so he places items of temptation in our path. It could be something visual or audible. It may waft through the air and tickle our nose or taste buds. Rest assured, he has a million tricks up his sleeve to deceive us and to touch our skin to draw our attention away from God.
As this sin or that sin triggers a thought it dresses up as sloth, gluttony, envy or puts on any number of other mask as it dances around. We have seen a great many and while there are many more our Armor gets stronger and is able to shield more and more. Not to worry, the great deceiver always has another trick another mask that manifest through our heart into our hands as something we did not expect.
We must be vigilante and always looking to Jesus Christ and asking the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Keeping our eyes focused and heart clean ensures our Walk with Him to be long and fruitful. Sin will have no place to hide, as the Light will always reveal it’s location.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. ~James 1:12-15 NKJB
Either the Gospel is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
