EROSION DAY BY DAY
Genesis 39:10
"So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her."
Erosion does not usually happen in one day. It happens day by day over a period of time. Great chasms have been created by water slowly wearing down the hard rocks and soil. Temptation is like that. Satan came to Jesus day after day, tempting Him to give in to his own desires and passions. Joseph had a strong resolve to be holy, and "he did not heed her" – he did not give in to her seduction to sin. If I am not alert to the erosion process, my resolve can be worn down until I succumb to the temptations of this world that bombard me day by day. "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might .... Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:10, 13).
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Living a holy life is a day by day process of resisting evil.

Have a strong day by day. Love you.
