Temptation is a universal struggle, but God provides a way to overcome. Scripture assures us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that “He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out.”Fighting temptation starts with awareness, continues with prayer, and is strengthened through Scripture.

Jesus overcame temptation by responding with God’s Word (Matthew 4). Likewise, hiding God’s Word in our hearts empowers us to resist. Avoiding compromising situations, surrounding ourselves with wise counsel, and staying rooted in a life of worship also fortify our spiritual defenses.

Temptation may come, but it doesn’t have to win. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can walk in victory, growing stronger each time we choose righteousness over compromise.
