Moses 1 (Fighting Temptation)

(6-22-8) In chapter 1 Satan commands Moses to worship him instead of the Lord. Moses called upon God and in the name of the Only Begotten, and Satan departed from him. When we are tempted to do things we should not do it is important to resist the temptation. If we resist and prove our dedication the spirit will come and we will be able to enjoy peace again.



If you are fighting addiction in your life, (drugs, alcohol, immorality, etc) when the temptation or cravings come be strong, and continue to call upon the Lord for help. If you will do this you will receive His help, and the temptation will pass.



This week I was at a doctor's office waiting to go back and I read an interesting article about Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/albert_chen/05/27/hamilton0602/



Near the end of the article Josh gives this scriptural reference James 4:7 (Humble yourself before God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.)



If you have the time please read the article about Josh Hamilton's road to the big leagues it is a very good story of overcoming temptation through faith in the Lord.
