Temptation

Good Morning!! There are a thousand different ways in which Satan seeks to tear down, our Christian testimony. It may be a temptation to sexual sin, or a tendency toward despair, or a disposition toward anger, or a longing for personal advancement or recognition.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.—Romans 12:21 (NIV)

But for all the temptations that may come our way, the remedy is the same,...a simple command: do not allow evil to overcome you. Stand fast in the Lord and in the power of His strength. Do not give in; do not be puffed up; do not allow your pride or lust or pain to overwhelm you. And, second, overcome evil with good. The Christian's posture is not a defensive one,...we are to be overcomers,...not merely survivors. Not only are we not to give up in fighting sin, we are to counteract the sin in the world, by our good lives and conduct,...we were made to overcome evil.

The goodness of our Savior, must be reflected in the good words, and works of His people.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

"We never truly know whether our faith is strong or weak, until it's been tried and tested."
