Matthew 4:10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
Yes we can give in to temptations and do our own thing – but God would rather we ask Him to help to resist temptation and follow His ways!
Does this lead to a boring life – I can attest it certainly does not because my life with God has been anything but boring!
God knows what is best for us and wants us to enjoy life with Him so others can be encouraged to live in similar ways.
