⚠️ Tempted

Being tempted isn’t sin; Jesus was tempted too. God promises a way out, and he understands.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13

15For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:15–16

7Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

James 4:7–8

Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 26:41

9How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. 10With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don’t let me wander from your commandments. 11I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Psalm 119:9–11

Pray

Jesus, you know this temptation. Give me strength to say no, and show me the way out.
