DAILY THOUGHT
A Classic Devotional from Richard Baxter
Be thoroughly acquainted with your temptations and the things that may corrupt you-and watch against them all day long. You should watch especially the most dangerous of the things that corrupt, and those temptations that either your company or business will unavoidably lay before you.
Watch against the master sins of unbelief: hypocrisy, selfishness, pride, flesh pleasing and the excessive love of earthly things. Take care against being drawn into earthly mindedness and excessive cares, or covetous designs for rising in the world, under the pretense of diligence in your calling.
At first these things will be very difficult, while sin has any strength in you, but once you have grasped a continual awareness of the poisonous danger of any one of these sins, your heart will readily and easily avoid them.
Lord, temptations surround me all day. Give me strength to direct my attention to You and Your Word in order to avoid temptation. Amen.
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. —Romans 8:37
