	Temptation! Temptation is a powerful force mixed with passion, desire, tension, lust, delusion, fantasy and imagination. Forbidden cravings always lead to a fall. Like Eve was tempted by the serpent to taste the forbidden apple, so this lady was tempted to forbidden desires. Temptations will come, but how will we respond... ignore and run, or taste and indulge?

It is so very dangerous to tempt temptation. It is a set-up to make us fall. To get us off the course of our destiny. The temptation of lust will ruin our future, our hopes and dreams. We need to try and resist little temptations, because when the bigger temptations of infidelity come along, we will be prepared to say 'NO' to our impulsive desires.

So many marriages are broken to the temptation of another. The mystery and the delusion of the unknown. The temptation that the grass is greener on the other side.

In this time of choosing, "choose LIFE not death". Temptations and trials will always come, but we need to stand against them, and know if it is wrong, it will be wrong for us go this way, otherwise if we do, it will lead to death. Death of a marriage, losing relationships of children, other loved ones, and so on.

Cry out to the Lord during these difficult times, when our entire being is screaming to go the wrong way. Know this feeling will only last for a time, and we will see clearly at the end of the gripping ordeal.
