Temptation is something we all face and something that our enemy is always in our face about. He is a specialist at sending what will tempt us the most when we are in a moment of weakness or a moment of opportunity for him.
- If you are prone to laziness - he will give you unsupervised time
- If you are prone to bitterness - he will remind you of past hurts
- If you are prone to lust - he will send something to catch your eye
- If you are prone to anger - he will send some irritation
- If you are prone to gossip - he will send scandalous news your way
- If you are prone to greed - he will send something for you to grasp
- If you are prone to pride - he will tell you how great you are
- If you are prone to depression - he will tell you how pathetic you are
- If you are prone to selfishness - he will tell you how deserving you are
- If you are prone to envy - he will tell you how undeserving others are
- If you are prone to being judgmental - he will tell you how right you are
- If you are prone to doubts - he will tell you how wrong you are
The solution? Spend time with God daily, every single day; do not miss a day. Time in the Word and time in prayer will allow the Spirit freedom to work; it will give you strength to stand and prepare you for the temptation that will come. Have you spent time with God today?
