#Day 73: 13 March 2016

LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

Second day in Kuala Terengganu. The small town with a lot of nice seafood restaurant.

Oh well, we are in the land of temptation. Temptation to enjoy all the nice seafood with awesome reasonable price. Tempation to drop our fasting commitment not to eat any type of meat till 27 March (Daniel's Fast).

I guess like I said yesterday, problem and challenges are everywhere and will always be part of our lives and we should focus on the journey rather than the destination or the worry.

In this case, I need to accepts that the nice awesome looking food is part of my journey, the temptation is part of my 21 days journey. And I need to focus on what matters the most.

Thank God in the highest place. Elsye and I continue to enjoy the commitment while we allowed the kids to enjoy theirs (they decided to fast on games, no ipad no gadget).

We choose vegetables rather than seafood.

Like Jesus being tempted, we also are being tempted in our lives. Jesus knew this. That is why he leads by example. He was tempted and he won over the temptation by faith.

Hebrews 2:18 - For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

That is why he taught us the Lord's prayer. "Lead us not into temptation..." and if we do fall into temptation, let us focus on His journey, let us make His journey as ours. That we shall won over us, like He had won His.

Glory to God in the highest. Another day full of blessing.

1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV - No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it
