If you enjoy fishing, you know that sometimes fish are caught with live bait, while other times with lures. If the fish falls for the bait, it is more or less a goner. The fish is snatched from a healthy environment, placed in a bucket, and held captive for whatever comes next. If the fish didn’t fall for the alluring bait, it remains free to live in the water.Likewise, if you don’t use caution when temptations come your way, you will fall prey to the enemy. Stay alert at all times so no form of enticement can entrap you. It’s vital that you watch for the ever-so-subtle temptations. Choose to stay away from the alluring enemy’s hook, so you don’t end up in a bucket of dire consequences. God’s Word says, “So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you…” (James 4:7-8 NLT).Decide to stay close to God, resist temptation, and choose the best life for you and your loved ones. Remember, momentary pleasures never outweigh future blessings God offers to those who overcome temptation and follow His ways of living.
