There are several factors that determine your vulnerability to temptation. The most obvious, of course, is circumstance. By allowing yourself to be in the wrong place, associating with the wrong people at the wrong time, you make overcoming temptation nearly impossible. You have stacked the deck against yourself!

Let me ask you a question: “Are you in the wrong place associating with the wrong people?”

“Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.”

— Psalm 1:1-2 (NIV)

Lord help us to guard our relationships lest we fall into temptation. Amen.
