"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
-James 4:7 (NASB)
-James 4:7 (NASB)
It can be hard to resist temptation. Whether it's food, gossip, or some other weakness, we can be drawn in by the temptation and even into sin before we realize it! While it can be hard to resist certain things, we are not alone in the battles we face.
God is ready to help us resist temptation and sin. If we submit to God and follow His way, He can and will help us resist temptations. Once we have God on our side, we are able to resist whatever the devil can throw at us. If we resist the devil, he knows that his tricks are useless and he will flee from us. When we draw closer to God, we move farther away from the devil and the allure of his temptations to sin.
Get close to God and away from the devil by submitting to God's will for your life.
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving me strength to resist the temptations of the devil. Be with me and guide me so that I can continue to follow You and cause the devil to flee. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
