Temptation is usually the strongest, not when we are in the midst of a struggle, but when we achieve success. It often comes on strong at a time when we are taking life easy. That's why so many people fall prey to adultery and sexual sin during mid-life. In national parks, visitors are reminded to be very careful to extinguish all residues of campfires. Often a fire may seem dormant, but is always below the surface, like the unextinguished embers in a leftover campfire with a good wind can spread and set a prairie or a forest ablaze.
Temptation is always below the surface.
B. Temptation comes in vulnerable areas. In Greek mythology, Achilles was a courageous and mighty warrior. Thetis, his mother took him by the heel and dipped him in the waters of the river Styx. Like Achilles, we all have a heel, a place of great vulnerability, an area the evil one loves to exploit. Fish bite different baits.
