This is true that temptations are almost constantly around us. I think more so
than in the'50 s and 60's

Temptations Everywhere
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is
faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you
are
tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 NIV
If you stop to think about it, the cold, hard evidence is right in front of
your eyes: you live in a temptation-filled world. The devil is out on the
street,
hard at work, causing pain, stress, and heartache in more ways than ever
before. Here in the 21st century, the bad guys are working around the clock to
lead you astray. That's why you must remain vigilant.
In a letter to believers, Peter offered a stern warning: "Your adversary, the
devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" (1 Peter
5:8 NASB). What was true in New Testament times is equally true in our own.
Satan tempts his prey and then devours them. As believing Christians, we must
beware. And, if we seek righteousness in our own lives, we must earnestly
wrap ourselves in the protection of God's Holy Word. When we do, we are secure.
The devil's most devilish when respectable. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Do not fight the temptation in detail. Turn from it. Look ONLY at your Lord.
Sing. Read. Work. ~Amy Carmichael
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus went through agony of soul in His efforts
to resist the temptation to do what He felt like doing rather than what He
knew was God's will for Him. ~Joyce Meyer
Temptation is not a sin. Even Jesus was tempted. The Lord Jesus gives you the
strength needed to resist temptation. ~Corrie Ten Boom
TODAY'S PRAYER
Lord, life is filled with temptations to stray from your chosen path. But, I
face no temptation that You have not already met and conquered through my
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the One who empowers me with His strength and
His love. Amen
