Tuesday, May 11, Temptation

Temptations come every day and I never know what it will be. One of the things I have learned over the years is that through my past rebellion, I have created avenues of temptation that Satan uses against me on a frequent basis. Since he knows I have weaknesses in certain areas, he throws those at me. Thankfully God has promised we can not be overcome by temptation. We always have a way out. It is my choice to turn away or not. The more I refuse to yield to temptation the stronger I become. Yet, I must be careful that I do not allow pride in my strength become a temptation in itself. Satan is so sneaky. God, on the other hand, is up front and open in His promise to be there for me. Thank you, Father, for being with me on a daily basis.
