Psalm 119:11 (NIV)
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
that I might not sin against you.
When temptations come, let me suggest that you ask God for
strength-and also to show you the way He has prepared for your escape. One
other word of counsel; be very sure that you do not deliberately place yourself
in a position to be tempted. All of us are not subjected to the same weaknesses
and temptations. To one, alcohol may be the temptation; to another, it may be
impure thoughts and acts; to another, greed and covetousness; to another,
criticism and an unloving attitude. Regardless of what it may be, be sure that
Satan will tempt you at your weak point, not the strong. Our Lord has given us
an example of how to overcome the devil’s temptations. When He was tempted in
the wilderness, He defeated Satan every time by the use of the Bible.
Thought for today:
How do I redirect my thoughts when I am tempted?
