Fighting Temptation With a Purpose
in the animal kingdom of insect society
each member has a purpose in the heirarchy
from the very beginning until the last stage of their existence
each one has a specific task that they perform with persistence
but us human beings we have to discern
what from our ancestors we most need to learn
utmost is that we just need to get life right
especially when we are standing in view of God's sight
but don't worry about how you will accomplish this deed
as God will provide all the tools that you will need
and even if you have not started out in life with an abundancy
God will help you to fulfill your chosen destiny
and as long as you tap into your God-given purpose for being
the Lord will help you pick up your towel of service to go achieving
fighting temptation with a purpose in mind
in doing the right thing most often you will find
that if you ever veer away from God's master plan
you will wind up with a disaster on your hands
and whenever you succumb to the pressures of society
you'll find yourself in the midst of a crisis of identity
and if ever you allow the adversary to get a toehold on you
he'll wear you down and a spiritual wringer he'll put you through
you might not have all the resources in life that you desire
just tap into your purpose for being and let God give you all you'll require
just like Josiah whose father was not the best of men
the type of life he led was hard to swallow and comprehend
instead Josiah looked ahead towards his God-given destiny
not left nor right but at God's unfailing certainty
moving with a purpose and God's assurety
moving with the grace of God and His authority
fighting temptation with a purpose in life
fighting against temptation in your walk with Jesus Christ
don't let the world label you and put you in a mold
you're a child of the Living God with a purpose to unfold
God gave you a gift, a special talent for a reason
and He wants you to utilize it in and out of season
find your purpose for being and with it move towards your destiny
fighting with temptation to become all that you can be
