“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”‭‭James‬ ‭1:13-17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because James says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” My mind gets confused in temptation. Temptation usually looks like a shortcut to get something I want, but if God is not in it, then it’s a trap. God loves us and provides for us with what we need with peace. Please pray that we and our friends trust God today in times of temptation. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
