EXOD249 The Talmud Sukkah 21a informs us that the struggle against the evil impulse takes place every day of a person's life, as we saw earlier with the manna, [this verse] and that God desired the test to be a daily one.

Then, the next act will be the one that determines if the person will be judged as a righteous person or as an evil person. Thus, each action will be given proper reflection and importance. It is also important that in deciding to commit a moral or an immoral act, a person be decisive like the people with Elijah the prophet, 1 Kings 18:21 where he urged them to "get off the fence" and decide whether to worship the idol Baal or God.
