THOUGHTS TO PONDER:

What steps can we take to protect ourselves against ourselves?

Surround yourselves with other believers who can keep you accountable.
Get an accountability partner that will check up on you from time to time and ask the tough questions.
Avoid places or things we know will tempt us.
Pray immediately and make it a habit to ask for help in the moment of temptation.
Fill our minds with Scripture.

REFLECTIONS:

What tempts you the most in life?

List the gifts in your life directly from God?

Stop and thank Him for three.

Does the world see you as “set apart”? Why or why not?

What is one way you can be more of a “doer” of God’s Word this week?

Reflect on one verse that stood out the most in Chapter 1.
