God Tempting Me? ... Not!

James 1:13-15 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
How many of us go about sinning and blame it on God? We say He is tempting or testing us. How did we ever get to such thinking? We need to ponder on what His word says and let it sink in. We are drawn away by our own accord. We are the one who allows the adversary to whisper sweet nothings in our ear.
