DO NOT FALL INTO TEMPTATIONS

Aa human beings, we are faced with many temptations every day. There are situations in life that makes us feel like doing what is wrong. Sometimes, some of us believe that God sent those situations our way to discover whether we will sin against him or not. In the first reading of today,  St James tells us that God does not test us or lure us to  sin. This is why he encourages all those going through a lot of trials and tribulations to hold firm and be steadfast in faith. When we fall into temptations and sin against God, we cannot blame God, or the devil or the situations, but our crave for material possessions and pleasures. May almighty God grant us the grace to withstand tempting moments in our lives and be focused on him. Amen.
