be on guard against temptation

hey y'all!
today was great. i woke up & mitchell called & we talked for a little bit & then candace came & got me at 12 and we went back to her hourse & hung out & then went up to the church at 2 and hung around until mitchell & megan & dakoda got there & then we went to get icecream with mr allen, it was fun. last friday of the summer. my goodness that is sort of depressing. haha. at the moment, hillcrest is actually doing well. the score is 25-28 [TL Hanna of course] but we still are only down by three, which is amazing. b/c usually hillcrests first game of the season is a shutout. idk whats into them players tonight, it HAS to be a God thing. b/c we all know its a miracle if hillcrest wins a football game. haha
anyway, my devotion was on being on guard against temptation. we all are tempted with many things, but it is up to us to keep our guard up. Matthew 26:41 says, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the body is weak." which is totally true. satan tempts us to get us to do things that will not please God. in our day & age we are tempted with many different things, but we have to put our faith to God and not give in to these temptations. Vance Havner said, "It is not the Word hidden in the head that keeps us from sin. It is the Word hidden in the heart." which is true. sometimes we have to forget what our head is telling us, and go with what our heart says. remember, Jesus is in our heart. and he will tell us what is right & what isnt. we need to avoid things that bring temptation to us and not give into it!
i love y'all!
God Bless!
