How dangerous is it for you to pick up a hot pizza for you and others, set it on the front seat of your car and not be tempted to eat a piece or two before you make it home?
Remember this... your mess ups don't have to keep messing you up.
I want to do something and compare pizza with flirting with sin.
Flirting with sin is like riding home with a smoking hot pizza in the front seat... you're going to cave to the aroma, permeating throughout the car, and give way to the thoughts of how good a warm slice would be before you get home. Don't flirt with the flesh, it loves filling our minds with all kind of endorphins that "smell" much better than pizza.
But we don't have to let our mess ups, or mess ups of others, keep messing us up...His mercies are fresh every morning. Glory...
What did Jesus say about it?
...If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is more profitable for you that one of the members your body (like an eye) perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.…" (Matthew 5:28-30).
We shouldn't put ourselves in a place that we know we have a known weakness and expect to come out unscathed.
God may not REMOVE IT, as with Paul, he can and will is it to keep you humble and needing His fresh and sufficient grace and ever dependent upon a fresh word from Him to lean on.
