Seeing it by
This is a delicate area, but it’s best to talk about it openly. Temptation comes in many forms for both men and women. Sometimes it is subtle, but other times the appealing nature of sin screams at you with all its seductive power.
In our society both men and women are continually bombarded with visual stimulation, the amount rapidly increasingly with the growth of media in recent years.
But I challenge you to see the ‘truth versus lie’ struggle facing us. Having a visual attraction to someone won’t necessarily lead to long-term happiness! In fact it will probably lead to long-term disaster!
Read one of God’s instructions for temptation…
“But He gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings. As the Scripture says, God gives strength to the humble, but sets Himself against the proud and haughty.” James 4:6
TODAY, see through the temptations by humbly submitting to God’s will!

Because
I am a man, let me use a particular example. There is a lie that the
devil uses with great effectiveness on many males – the visual pleasure of a
woman! God made the fairer species extremely attractive to a man, but
the devil has twisted the beauty of the flesh and linked it with intimacy of
relationship.
