Obviously this won’t happen to anyone, because we all struggle with sin and temptation and continue to sin all our lives.
One can only hope to sin far far less.
“One can only hope to sin far far less. “
God gives us grace to forgive us for our transgressions.
It’s up to us to train our minds and control our thoughts. Some days I can do it and other days, distracted, my brain ends up in the gutter.
Daily circumstances seem to be the biggest distraction in contrast to outright spiritual attacks on specific weaknesses—which do happen and reinforces in me the acknowledgement that we live in a spiritual world.
The timing of those attacks illuminates that I’m doing the right thing. It’s even humorous at times to see the enemy flailing against the fortress.
Then other times, especially when I’m tired, I leave the gate wide open and get pounded. Oops. Teach me not to do that again.
