Playbook: The Game Plan for Navigating TemptationNäide

Have you ever seen someone try to text and walk at the same time? Usually, they’re so into what’s happening on their phone that they don’t see what’s right in front of them. They often end up running into something or falling on their faces because they weren’t paying attention to where they were going. That’s what happens when we take our eyes off where we’re headed: We trip or fall. That’s why we need to fix our eyes on God in this life. When we keep our focus there, we can walk forward without fear of tripping up or falling into temptation. We can trust we’re moving in the right direction. And even if we do misstep, we can know God’s there to pick us up and set us back on the right path once again.

Take time to go for a walk today. With every step, think about the fact that God knows the best path for you to walk in life.
