Enticed?
 
Reading: Proverbs 1:10, 10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. (NKJV)

My 2 year old picked up my cell phone this morning off my night stand to play with it. I immediately told her that she needed to put it down and not touch it or play with it. She did really well and set it back down… but, then, she just stood there and stared at it. After a little while of staring at it with a look on her face like she was just itching to touch it again, sure enough, she did.

Men, in this situation, what should happen? Take some time and write out exactly what should happen in this situation.


Okay, now that you have written those things out… what is your enticement right now?




How can you take the things that you wrote down that would be appropriate in the situation with my 2 year old and the cell phone and apply those same principles to the things in your life that are enticements?



The challenge today is to simply follow those things that you already know to do in dealing with something that is an enticement. By the way, one of the biggest things I like about this verse is… it is so direct and to the point… just don’t do it. “Do not consent”.

How did you do with your enticements today?
 
 
How were you able to follow your own advice to “not consent” to your enticement?
