So I MIGHT Not
In life there are no guarantees. This simple truth has been told, preached, sang and written. It pours into the life of the believer also when the reality of sin’s presence manifests itself in a temptation. We are all tempted or tried ins o many different ways. We are tempted as a result of mistakes and sometimes tempted in the rigor of growing as believers. Regardless of our involvment or instigation, what we face we must deal with. When first realizing the need for God, I was always failing at my temptations. Then when I had a little distance into the life of being a believer, I sometimes overcame and sometimes failed. It is at this point that my expectations went out of whack. I figured that at some point I would no longer fail with my temptations because I would become so holy, sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost, that I COULD NOT fail. Well I was wrong. I will never have a perfect record with my temptations.
The best that I can ever do is to “might not” fail to temptation.
For a perfectionist like me this is tough. I want to a guaranteed win, but I can’t get that. But, at least, I have a chance to win when I have the Word of God hid in my heart. Without it, I am losing even when I feel like I am winning!
