Galations 4:9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
NIV
Ive been wrestling with temptation. When i see it working its way through my brain, i think back to this verse and thank God for his salvation.

*The end of a thing is better than its beginning;The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.*Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,For anger rests in the bosom of fools. - Ecclesiastes 7:8-9 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes7:8-9&version=NIV

If you go to the bible discussion forum, you will get much more informed answers to your question.Job 11:13-20 (NIV)
13
“Yet if you devote your heart to him
and stretch out your hands to him,
14
if you put away the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
15
then, free of fault, you will lift up your face;
you will stand firm and without fear.
16
You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.
17
Life will be brighter than noonday,
and darkness will become like morning.
18
You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
19
You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid,
and many will court your favor.
20
But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
and escape will elude them;
their hope will become a dying gasp.”
((though i think that the musician is quoting NKJV))

What may you think about what you may look at below ?
So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Of course what I am saying now is not what the Lord would have me say; in this matter of boasting I am really talking like a fool. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. I promise them freedom, while I am a slave of depravity for "people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.". Amen, Hallelujah !

. . . but their minds were closed. For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; it is not lifted, because it is set aside only in Christ.
Even to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts, but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
(2 Corinthians 3:14-16)
