I've been reading through the Bible on YouVersion using their one-year Bible plan. Last week I was reading Hebrews 12 and came across this:
Wow. I think about how often I barely resist at all. Particularly if the sin is something that can happen very quickly (words and thoughts fall in that category). I want to keep this verse on my mind so whenever I am tempted, I can be reminded of this call to stand strong.
I love that it says resist until the point of shedding blood, because it really brings out the battle mentality. I can't help the fact that stuff like that fires me up
