Satan Didn't Tempt Me Then Who Did?

James 1 : 13 - 14

When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.


There are so many temptation in this world, such as, greed of having more than enough, adultery , lie , homosexual , drugs addiction , murder, favouritism, jealousy , molesting , abusing and many more.

I believe not much of us understand why we suddenly get into emotional and started to do things which we hardly can control. We even started to abuse a child when we are frustration, other people probably will not understand and say "This girl is out of her mind, she is so cruel! How guilty she is !" Or even he or she won't know why she will abuse their child, they just can't stop it and even felt sad and sorry for what they have done. How sinful we are. Can law help us to stop sinning again ?

Another example, we are getting more and more greedy, when we saw theres a great opportunity of earning money illegally, no matter small or big issue we will tempt to do it as long as they got the benefit. It happen before in my past company. We will said the temptation is too big, how other people able understand me and my situation now? or even you will said God allow test my faith by putting all this temptation in front of me!

But after I read this Bible verses, I really understand, even myself get into such temptation to sin against God. This is not what I want it to be, but my will of being holy is too weak it's because our past sin that we committed and continue affecting us now.

Just as this verse said " but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed." At the end of the day, Is our evil desire that make us get into temptation. If I'm a drugger, I will be tempt to take drugs if I saw opportunity, but If I'm not a drugger, I will reject or ignore it, because I know this is not good for me and I able to control myself. It's also simulated to smoker.

Now, I understand why it happen to me and others will fall easily .

Lord Jesus, help me to overcome my evil desire which will drag me away from being holy. Lord I repent infront of you, may You make miracle works in my life, so that I able to proclaim your Great Name with Joy just as King David dance with great joy wholeheartedly ! In Jesus Name I pray ! Amen ! !
