As children of God we are faced with temptations every day through the devil and our fellow humans. This is not something new as from the beginning, the devil has been tempting man in order to stop him from the plan of God.
Our God is faithful to deliver us from every kind of temptation that might come our way. This is why Jesus came as a human with flesh and blood to walk on earth, to show us how we can overcome temptation here on earth. Jesus was tempted but He overcame the devil through the word of God.
When we meditate upon the word of God keeping them in our hearts, we will be able to use these words to overcome any kind of temptation as Jesus did when He was tempted. Whatever temptation you are going through right now, remember that God loves you and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your ability. He will empower you through His words and bring you out of any plans of the enemy against your life.
