I Peter 5:8-9 "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, is as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethern that are in the world."
Adults, teens and children need to avoid temptation. I'm speaking mostly to ladies here because one way we can help men avoid temptation is by how we dress. We as ladies avoid temptation also when we dress modestly as well as when we see men modestly dressed. This lesson though is for ladies and how we can avoid temptation.
I'm going to look at dress in Deuteronomy 22:5 "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord they God."
Ladies we should want to look like ladies not men! When you wear the tight clothing whether you realize it or not you are saying look what I have. Is that really what you want to do? Now I realize skirts, dresses and tops can be tight also. But you can purchase clothing that is tight but also that doesn't look 10 sizes to big on you.
So how can You Not cause temptation?
1. Read your Bible Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of they mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make they prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
2. Pray for Gods leading daily Psalms 55:17 "Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice."
3. Fellowship with the right people. We are told in marriage not to be unequally yoked, why not take that a step further an make sure we seek council from the right people. As a christian you should not go to unsaved people with a problem. I realize you can't totally avoid those who aren't saved an we should befriend them, but not be buddy, buddy with them.
4. Sing songs an spiritual hymns, wow I could really go on a rabbit trail here.I will only say pick a hymn or scripture song an make it your song for the day, week may e the month.
These are just a few things ladies, teens and young girls that we can do to help us avoid temptation.
Will be tempted? Yes
Will we fall into temptation? Maybe but if we do all we can to avoid it there's less chance.
James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God, Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
You may ask how do I resist the devil/temptation?
Don't be on the computer where no one can see you.
Don't watch the TV program just because its on prime time.Just because Christian is attached does not mean that it is. Many of these shows teach its OK to wear skin tight clothing, listen to "christian rock", go dating without a chaperon, cheat on your husband.These are all Wrong an they are lead you into temptation.
So, Be careful little eyes what you see
Oh be careful little feet where you go,
Be careful little hands what you do.
Be careful little ears what you hear. WHY?
Because the Father up above is looking down in love
So be careful Lady, Teen girl and little girls what you see, where you go, what you touch and what you hear!
