James 1v14-15
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

Our desires can easily consume us and if we do not turn them over to God giving Him control we can easily fall into the trap of leaning on our own flesh (often emotions), misleading ourselves and in turn failing miserably. Let’s check our desires today, recognizing those that are of the Lord backed by the truth in His word and those that can lead to temptation, giving both up to Him in faith and prayer to deliver His greater will to our life.

James 1v16-18
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
