Me:\u00a0 Why, gosh almighty, you’re so thin you could bathe in a gun barrel.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I was saying the same thing.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Get some food in him!<\/p>\n

This is from the book A Man of Integrity and Forgiveness:\u00a0 Joseph by Charles Swindoll<\/p>\n

If you plan to resist temptation, you must meet four requirements.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0You must not be weakened by your situation.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. You must not be deceived by the persuasion.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. You must not be gentle with your emotion.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. You must not be confused with the immediate results.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Walk by faith, and not by sight.\u00a0 God is working in the background, but you do not know everything yet.\u00a0 Do not be discouraged, and do not give in to negative emotions.<\/p>\n

    If ye walk in my statues, and keep my commandments, and do them; then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.<\/p>\n

    Leviticus 26:3-4<\/p>\n
