One little Bite

So your a little tempted you say??? Just one little bite and you wont want anymore??? RIGHT!! Ummm No it doesn't work that way usually! Okay... so you might be the person who can have one small bite and then throw the rest away! Great! ... But why EVEN tempt yourself that way???.... I mean come on! I would be mad! Someone gives me a piece of cake, or a chip, or a cookie... or even a sandwich... and I take a small bite... and then I'm supposed to throw it away or step away from it!?? Come on! Get REAL with yourself... Chances are... while you may be strong in one area you are weak in another... So don't even put it in front of you! .... Now I have been talking about food...
Now to apply it spiritually... The Bible says in Proverbs 4:13-15. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. 14.Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. 15.Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
The picture above... while it is comical (I love Disney) It really does speak volumes! The wicked witch wanted to kill Snow White... she had evil intentions through the apple (food) that she offered her... when the devil comes with something of Evil Intent... from a place you should not be, to something you should not watch, to YES Something you should not eat (no food is not the devil... BUT not all food is healthy for you and can cause something bad to happen to your body if you continue to eat what is not right for you IE. clogged arteries, diabetes, high blood pressure, even death) .... Do like verse 15 says! AVOID IT, PASS NOT BY IT, TURN FROM IT, AND PASS AWAY... so what do you do when temptation presents itself unannounced? Be strong enough (through prayer, listening to your convictions, strong people around you...etc...) to not give in to your temptations! You will feel good that you did!
So when you feel tempted to have One little Bite... Think of all the people who are cheering for you! Think of the God who is for you!  You can do it! STEP AWAY FROM THE FRIDGE! :) lol
