TEMPTATION: A TRYING THING

MEMORY VERSE: “Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” (MATTHEW 4:10).

BIBLE TEXT: MATTHEW 4:1-11

According to Wikipedia, temptation is an immediate, pleasurable urge or an impulse that disrupts an individual’s ability to wait for a long-term goal. Temptation is the inner drive to get something that is ungodly. There are different forms of temptations confronting the youths of today. They include cheating in exams, stealing, taking alcohol, immorality, and joining gangs.

In our text, our Lord Jesus Christ endured temptation and overcame all that the devil threw at Him. God does not lead us into temptations, but delivers us from them. Friend, ask God to help you overcome temptations. However, you should also be vigilant to stay away from tempting situations. As Jesus Christ overcame, you can also overcome if you belong to Him. But if you are a sinner, accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour, and He will help you too. I love the way Frederick W. Faber put it, “Every moment of resistance to temptation is a victory.” Yes, if you resist the devil, he will surely flee from you. That is the privilege Jesus gives when you accept Him. Will you?

QUOTE: Ask God to help you overcome

CHALLENGE: Stay away from tempting situations.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to have daily victory over every temptation.
