Learn How to Meet Temptation

Learn how to meet temptation. As we have already learned, temptation is natural. Temptation is not sin. It is yielding that is sin. God never brings temptation to us. He allows it to test us. It is the work of the devil. Recognize it as much. One way to meet temptation is to quote a verse of Scripture at the Tempter- he will always run, for he cannot stand the Word of God. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, the only resource that he had was the word of God. He said three times, “It is written.”

Everyone has temptations but some folks entertain them. They seem to enjoy being tempted. Chase a mouse with a broom and you will notice that he isn’t eyeing the broom. He is looking for a hole. Get your eyes off the temptation and onto Christ.
