When I was a kid, I really enjoyed watching westerns with my dad. We could always tell the good guys from the bad guys by the color of their cowboy hats. Those black hats were a clear indication that that person was trouble.
People pursuing the world and filled with evil intentions today may not be wearing a black hat, but Paul tells us in his letter to the Ephesians that there will be clear signs: sexual immorality, impurity, and greed. Even as God’s holy people (the good guys), we are likely to be tempted by something in any of the three areas Paul calls out. But as followers of Jesus, we are to say “no” to these temptations and pursue sexual faithfulness, purity, and gratitude.
Is there somewhere in your life that Satan is tempting you to put on the black hat of sexual immorality, impurity, or greed? Resist, pray, ask for help, remain obedient, and trust God for the blessing that will follow.
