"The place to start is with a sober reminder of the consequences of sin. What happens when I fail to resist temptation? James 1:15 says, "it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."

I am so grateful to God that even when I am a Hot Mess, ever since I surrendered totally to Him and continue to surrender He Provides a way out.  I have seen how this month when I especially wanted to give up God is holding on to me.....The thing is we have to heed Gods' warning and not let the enemy isolate us!!! Our God is faithful even when we are not!!!!  Let's not lose our focus when for all we know t he blessing is at HAND! For we are all more than conquerors in Christ Jesus!!!

1 Corinthians 10:6-13 (New International Version)
 6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”[a] 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. 9 We should not test Christ,[b] as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.
 11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. 12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation[c] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[e] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
