Resisting Temptation
Scripture
James 1:14-15 NLT - "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death."
Devotion
Temptation is a personal battle each believer faces. James teaches that temptation comes from our desires, which lure us away. Like Esau, without self-control, we risk making hasty decisions that can lead to spiritual detriment.
Reflection
What are the "flavors" of temptation in your life? Identify one area where you need God's strength to resist.
Prayer
Father, reveal to me the temptations I struggle with, and grant me the strength to overcome them. Let me draw near to You and find peace in Your presence. Amen.
