Temptation


Temptation


When you are faced with a temptation—run the other direction. It's in the Bible, II Timothy 2:22, TLB. "Run from anything that gives you the evil thoughts that young men often have, but stay close to anything that makes you want to do right. Have faith and love, and enjoy the companionship of those who love the Lord and have pure hearts."
Prayer strengthens us against temptation. It's in the Bible, Mark 14:38, NIV. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
Meet temptation with God's Word. It's in the Bible, Matthew 4:1,3,4, NIV. "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. The tempter came to Him and said, 'If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread:' Jesus answered, "It is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
God will not allow us to be tempted beyond our ability to resist. It's in the Bible, I Corinthians 10:13, NIV. "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
Those who do not yield to temptation will be rewarded. It's in the Bible, James 1:12, TLB. "Happy is the man who doesn't give in and do wrong when he is tempted, for afterwards he will get as his reward the crown of life that God has promised those who love Him."
