Guidelines For Living Devotional

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you want to do something badly and you are quite sure that no one will know if you do it?  There is one catch--you know that you should not do it.  It is against your better judgment and deep within your heart you feel that you should not.  Then you think, "Nobody will know and besides just this one time won't count."  That is the predicament of TEMPTATION and it is a dilemma as old as the human race.  Way back in the Garden of Eden, man first faced temptation and yielded to it.  From that day to the present, men and women, teens and children have battled temptation.  It comes in all sizes and varieties-- there are as many different kinds of temptation as there are human predicaments.

4 Guidelines To Help You Say What You Mean

Dr. William Glasser told about the time when he was preparing to give his son a bath.  At that time the little boy was five years old.  The Glassers had two tubs--a large one that would have allowed the little boy to kick and splash and a smaller one which had been used when he was little.  The little boy asserted his rugged individualism--otherwise described as "stubborn independence"--and announced that he wanted his bath in the small tub even though he knew the larger tub was easier to fill.

Every person, no matter what his age or geographic location, has certain drives which are fundamental to existence.  Among the strongest are the physical drives for food and water, but there are others, including a desire to know God, to know where we came from and what lies beyond our last breath here on earth.
