Your choice is simple; how will you live TODAY? Will you live selfishly or selflessly? Will you live for yourself or will you live for others? Will you be self-focused or other-focused? Will you look inward or will you start the day with a new outlook?
If your thoughts are continually focused upon you; you are in danger. The person who does not think beyond themselves is carnal and apt to fall easily to temptation. If on the other hand you love God more than yourself and your neighbor more than yourself your thoughts will be higher than much of the temptation that is put in your way.
Every temptation that Satan tempted Jesus with in the wilderness was aimed at a selfish man; are you hungry? Are you spiritual? (You are so special to God you could even throw yourself off this building and He would have His angels catch you) Do you desire wealth, fame, all this world has to offer? Fortunately Jesus wasn't self-focused; He was focused on doing what His Father had called Him to do and to be whom He was created to be.
How about you? It really is very simple; it’s your choice.
