What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of
the Father's hand.
Frame 1: I will take a drive, but won't go near the grocery store.
Yes, temptation is hard to deal with at times, and, yes, some us should not go down the candy
aisle at the grocery story. But God is greater than our temptations. Jesus said in our scripture
reading today, "What my Father has given me is greater than all else."
(John 10:29
NRSV)
Temptation can really play havoc with our lives. There was a humorous "Cathy" cartoon where
Cathy is struggling with her diet.
Frame 2: I will drive by the grocery store, but will not go in.
Frame 3: I will go in the grocery store, but will not walk down the aisle where the Halloween
candy is on sale.
Frame 4: I will look at the candy, but not pick it up.
Frame 5: I will pick it up, but not buy it.
Frame 6: I will buy it, but not open it.
Frame 7: Open it, but not smell it.
Frame 8: Smell it, but not taste it.
Frame 9: Taste it, but not eat it.
Frame 10: Eat, eat, eat, eat eat!
Lord Jesus, please forgive me for giving in to temptation. Amen.
