Temptation Fighter

APRIL 15, 2024

I have thought much about Your words and stored them in my heart so that they would hold me back from sin.
Psalm 119:11, TLB

 Recommended Reading: Psalm 119:9-16

Let’s combine two verses into one—Psalm 119:9 and 11: “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your Word…. [which] I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” Our greatest strategy in fighting temptation is God’s Word in our heart, wielded by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Faith, which keeps us in step with God and hinders sin in our lives, is fed by Scripture. We need to search out and memorize verses that address our sinful habits and tendencies. Every sinful urge in the human heart is addressed somewhere in the Bible. We need to find and learn the verses that counter our weaknesses. Some sins are so stubborn we need support at many levels, but our primary tool is memorized and applied Scripture.

What area of weakness are you facing? Search God’s Word, find a verse or passage that meets your need, and commit it to memory. Let the Holy Spirit use His Word to help you overcome your besetting sin.

God’s Word hidden in your heart is the sword of the Spirit, available for battle at any time against sin and Satan.
