CHOOSE: Temptation or Way of Escape?


Have you noticed when you make the commitment to "fast" the enemy quickly lays out his table of temptations?

- Suddenly your co-workers break out the Krispy Creme doughnuts and Starbucks coffee every morning!
- Your spouse spontaneously decides to take you out to lunch or a special dinner just because...
- As you drive, every billboard is an advertisement of delicious, tempting treats
- You receive an invitation to an event: wedding, birthday, family reunion, etc..
- Oh yes, let's not forget the temptation to "lick" our fingers if we are handling or preparing food for others!!

These occurrences were never an issue before.  Why now?

ANSWER:  Because you entered into a commitment.

Think about it.  What happens when you commit to join a gym? What happens when you commit to eating healthy? What happens when you commit to a project/hobby or ministry?  What happens when you commit to breaking a bad "habit"?
