The TemptationsEgzanp

Have you ever come upon a roadblock or detour while in the car? It’s usually a sign that something unsafe is ahead and that you need to take a different route. If you keep going on that same road, it won’t end well. While God doesn’t use actual roadblocks in our lives, God has placed people in our lives to help steer us away from paths that are dangerous for us—paths that may lead us to hurt ourselves or others, or to sin. Our friends, our Small Group Leaders, our siblings, and our parents can all act as “detour signs” to encourage us to avoid giving into temptation and move toward God’s plan.

Who is the person like that in your life? This week, thank them for helping you stay on the right path.
