A devotional reflection on resisting temptation through God’s Word and strength.

Topical

Temptation is resisted through God’s strength and truth. Scripture teaches that God provides a way of escape in every temptation. His Word strengthens the heart and guards against sin.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Watch and pray. (Matthew 26:41)

Thy word have I hid in mine heart. (Psalm 119:11)

Christian Application

Temptation encourages believers that they are not powerless. God is faithful to help them stand. Flee temptation, fill your mind with Scripture, and depend on God’s strength.

Sample Prayer

Lord, deliver me from temptation and strengthen me to walk in purity. Amen.
