"But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." -James 1:14-15
Fungi have an important use in our ecology, are used to make medicines, can be a delicacy to eat, and some are quite beautiful. But they sometimes can also be deadly. James cautions his readers to not be tempted by things that appeal to their desires that are not God-given desires. When we turn from God's plan for us and follow our own desires, we can be easily led astray. Trusting God means we will want what He wants and endeavor to obey with His Help.
I am grateful that God helps me to obey when my desires are purified through trusting Him.
