Guarding Our Eyes from the Junk Food: Pt. 4
Way #4 to guard your eyes from the junk food of life.
KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES
In Gethsemane Jesus told Peter, James and John to "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation." -Matthew 26:51
We all have weaknesses or vices. Things that we are naturally prone to give in to as human beings. We need to be careful to avoid those situations and vices so we aren't even put in a position where we could be tempted to compromise or succumb to our sin.
Jesus said to pray and we know avoiding temptation begins with asking God for strength through prayer. Without Him we would never be able to resist the sin that so easily entangles.
Jesus though starts with "watch". We have to be on the lookout, keep our eyes open, be ready for the sin that is coming at us. Let's be people who know our weaknesses and keep a watchful eye out for the situations that would cause us to stumble.
The junk food is everywhere.
