Temptation

When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.  Romans 7:21 NIV

It is so easy to do wrong.  We are surrounded by wrong!  From media, to society, it seems that wrong is right.  It feels good, it is fun and it is what we desire to do.  It is SO important that we maintain our dignity and standards while living in these challenging times.

So how do we overcome evil? 

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.  Romans 12:21 NIV

I have a four-month old Golden Retriever.  When she fixes her eyes on something she wants, nothing else matters.  She will not take her eyes off of what has her attention, regardless of distractions.  We should be the same when it comes to seeking guidance from the Lord.  Let us stay focused on Him to be led to do great things.  I know we are faced with temptations, but we must be strong for the greater good.

      Good point, Teri. I’m ahead of you. I emailed Stove Team a couple of days ago and am still waiting to hear from them. Also visited Ap&8;echor#o217vs website to check out the possibilities. Two of the top makers of efficient stoves for use in developing countries located right there in the Eugene area. What are the odds?
