/*And lead us not into temptation ... -- Matthew 6:13 */

There is an easy way and a hard way to live the Christian life. 
Personally, I prefer the easy way.

I always thought this verse -- asking God to remove temptations from my 
life -- was a decoration. Until one day I decided to try it. Being male, 
I decided to try it with respect to women dressed to capture my eyes and 
tug at my desires. "God, please mark out a path for me and tell 
temptation to stay away."

The result was amazing. Where did all the women go?

Jesus took this prayer seriously. "Watch and pray," He said, "so you 
don't fall into temptation."

Isn't it so much easier when God does the work for us?

Be encouraged!
Dwight
