The strategy of the bright shiny object # 2
May 4, 2018
Thankfully the Bible is our guide for all times. Temptation is ever present and Scripture tells us where it gains a foothold. The evil one uses ‘the strategy of the bright shiny object.’ Temptation from the world,
1 John 2:16 Everything, the lust of the flesh, and eyes, and pride of life come from the world, not God.
My flesh wants unhealthy food and lots of it. Our bodies have other appetites, sensual as well. God directs us to marriage, the only way to satisfy that hunger. My eyes like pretty. Buy it, own it, give it to my children. Scripture says, its all God’s, give to him first.
Lets commit to not being distracted by that bright shiny object. But keep our focus on Jesus, our true and only lasting treasure.
