Proverbs 1:10 (NKJV) 10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.
Temptation comes to us in many ways.
Most times we find ourselves being enticed by people we know. They want us to join them in their follies, inviting us to partake of things and practices that we know aren’t pleasing to God.
Although it may sometimes seem difficult, it really just comes down to us saying yes or saying no. Very simple indeed.
Some things can seem so good on the surface and we may be tempted to follow along when people are doing things that we know aren’t right. But our conscience and the Holy Spirit will always be there, nudging us in the right direction.
It’s up to us to choose the right thing.
The best thing in the world for us to do is to say no and immediately turn away. The longer we linger and ponder on it, the more likely we are to be persuaded and give in, only to regret it later on.
We need to put God first in everything. When we do this, following this simple proverb will become much easier for us.
