Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.James 1:16-17
Temptation is a bad thing. Satan is tethered to it, and it is customized and deceptively disguised. So what do we do with temptation? How do we handle it and overcome it?
First of all, remember how great God is. The Bible tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from him. He wants us to grow and become the people he has created us to be. And part of that is overcoming the temptation we face.
God never tempts us. He is there to help us overcome temptation and experience the life he has in store for us.
So in the face of temptation, turn to God, because he is the one who created you. He is the one who has your best interests in mind. And he is the one who can help you overcome.
A Prayer for Today
Dear Lord, I realize that you have my best interests in mind. You created me. And you only want the best for me—your best for me. Help me discover the best by turning to you during those times in my life when I am tempted. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
