I'm glad things are straightened out now :D

Thank you both for being understanding :)

"The way of the Lord is a refuge to the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil."
Proverbs 10:29

Edited to add: OH HEY! I just noticed something... didn't Jesus say "I am the way, the truth and the life"  ? Read that verse again lol I didn't even notice that when I typed it up first

Right. Mind if I add my favorite translation plus a little to that?

James 1:21-25: "Have done, then, with impurity and every other evil which touches the lives of others, and humbly accept the message that God has sown in your hearts, and which can save your souls. Don't I beg you, only hear the message, but put it into practice; otherwise you are merely deluding yourselves. The man who simply hears and does nothing about it is like a man catching the reflection of his own face in a mirror. He sees himself, it is true, but he goes on with whatever he was doing without the slightest recollection of what sort of person he saw in the mirror. But the man who looks into the perfect mirror of God's law, the law of liberty (or freedom), and makes a habit of so doing, is not the man who sees and forgets. He puts that law into practice and he wins true happiness."

1 Peter 1:22-23
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Oh My! This one just hit me in the head like a HAMMER! Like a personal message at precisely the right time.

Psalms 103:17-20
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

"In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."
-Proverbs 3:6

The Word of the Lord helps make our paths straight.

Jesus is the way... Jesus is also the Word made flesh... I can't help but see Jesus everywhere I look in the Bible!! Even Old Testament!!! :D It's funny how the more I read the Bible, the more I seem to acknowledge Him.

So in other words.... Jesus (the Word) makes straight our paths by Jesus (the way). I'm telling you Jesus (the truth!!) :) He's just everywhere... lol

Amen GMI! Being grounded is protection to us.

Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
 
Being well rooted in the Bible helps us resist temptations. Neglect in studying the bible could lead to temptations appearing irresistable because the tempted one cannot readily remember Gods promises to meet Satan with the scripture weapons.

Amen, Jesus easily conquered satan but without our focus being God minded and daily word and prayer in relationship to the Father, we are but prey to be devoured.

I was reminded today that even the great men of God were tempted and did commit heinous sins. What did they do wrong......

trusted in their own wisdom, and forgot to listen first.

Remember, when Jesus was tempted, He used scripture. I have found that this past couple of years I had been out of the fellowship of God's people and studying His word has brought me so low spiritually that I thought i was lost forever.

satan is evil.......... feast on God's word and protect yourselves
