So now the daily calendar, "Flip", is starting to freak me out. Totally reading my mind and my heart and my struggles. So here it is...hopefully someone else will be touched by it as well.
What exactly is temptation? It is an enticement to get a legitimate need met apart from God's will or outside God's boundaries. Some people feel guilty for having needs. That is false guilt. Needs are needs....Needs are legitimate, and all of our needs are worthy of bringing to Christ so that He might meet them. Don't feel guilty for having needs. Guilt arises--and should arise--when we attempt to meet our needs by our manipulation or efforts rather than by trust in God.
'Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.'-James 1:14

That is so right on with the whole NOG concept--good and necessary things that just become too much a priority. The first place I see myself doing that is in relationships... putting too much weight in what the other person thinks or whether they care as much as I do or whether we agree, etc. I also see glimpses of it in where I seek fulfillment, comfort, rewards, etc. Where do you girls find yourselves trying to meet a need through something other than trusting God?
