Temptation is all around in our fallen world, but the worst temptation is often what is lured in front of us to keep us from our goals. Big or small, temptation is temptation and sin is sin. But what is greater? Our power to defeat temptation through Christ Jesus.
What's most amazing yet, because Jesus became fully human, he can perfectly empathize with us in every situation we face, because he has faced them all too. A verse of encouragement I love is Hebrews 4:15 "This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet He did not sin."
If He could resist temptation, He is willing and eager to give us the strength to do the same!
