Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

People of God with flattery lead them to violate the covenant, but there are

people who don't give into this seduction and they're the people who know

their God and they stand firm and they take action. They obey God. They

refuse to be seduced by the flattery of this world. Think about that in your

seduction, taking action to obey God, even when it goes totally against the grain of this world.

Oh God, make us that kind of people today. I pray this over my life. I pray this over every

give in to temptation and all kinds of different ways we might face temptation in each of our lives.

God lead us not into temptation as Jesus taught us to pray, keep us from the seductions of this

world, help us to pursue you alone, to obey you alone, to trust you alone as the one who satisfies

our souls. God, we pray that you would make us this kind of people who stand firm amidst the
