Avoiding Temptation

Proverbs 4:13-15, KJV
13.  Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
14.  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15.  Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Verse 14 says, "go not in the way of evil men."  Don't even be there!  There are many verses in proverbs that talk about the company you keep.  Proverbs 1:10-16
That last verse (in chapter 4 above) means to do a 180, and don't even walk by temptation!
Don't discuss it.  Don't consider it.  Don't click on it just to see what it is!  Don't give it a second thought, for the moment you do, you are treading dangerous ground.
Proverbs 7:8 talks about a young man who walks by "her" corner...  And sadly, verse 26 (of chapter 7) is true. =(
None of us are immune.
Proverbs 4:23-27, KJV
23.  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out if it are the issues of life.
24.  Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25.  Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26.  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27.  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
Keep your heart!

    Proverbs holds a lot of wisdom. I recommend reading a chapter each day! One for every day of the month. =)
