Don't Give In To Temptation

Everybody gets tempted sometime in their life, regardless of if they admit this or not. Just because we get tempted doe not mean we have to give in. Whatever the temptation may be for us, it may be difficult to not give in to it because we are used to giving in or it just looks sooooo good! Maybe we have that mindset, "just this once". The truth is, it will never be just that one time. The enemy is the one that puts these temptations in front of us because he knows what areas we are or were weak in. Study these verses if you are struggling:

James 1:2-3 (Amplified)
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

James 1:12 (Amplified)
Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 

Mark 14:38(Amplified)
"Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Luke 22:40 (Amplified)
When He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."
