Quick, hide (for women also!)

Thanks to someone who commented last week on "Quick, HIDE!":

'Thanks for reminding us to rid ourselves of the things that tempt us - for women, I know that it's important not to watch shows that glorify thin women. It's too tempting to believe that we should all look like that, when the Bible clearly tells us that "You are ALL beautiful, my love, there is no flaw in you."' (Song of Solomon 4:7)

I have heard from older women that there are other temptations for women to be wary of. Titus 2 carries exhortations, the opposite of which can come understanding of common temptations. Or the challenge of not gossiping: "Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered." (Proverbs 11:13, ESV)

This week's risk? Understand temptations that affect you, and plan an evacuation route when that comes, just as occupants of a building on fire must know the exit path! Praise the Lord that He does not give us a temptation which we cannot handle! (1 Corinthians 10:13)
