Overcoming Everyday Temptations

When the word 'temptation' is mentioned, most people immediately think about the 'big' things like immorality, stealing, substance abuse and the like. However, life presents us with opportunities everyday, that entice us to make decisions that do not align with God's will.

If you have ever driven on a complex highway with multiple adjoining bridges, you can attest to the fact that it is so easy to lose your way. With the help of navigation or other resources, you could get to the intended destination, but not without paying the price of time and gas!

Likewise, the seemingly simple decisions we make everyday have the potential to side track us. Life can get complicated. The devil certainly wants to keep us away from living a productive Christian life.

Thankfully, we know Someone who has been there before and back - Jesus. The Bible says in Luke 4 that Jesus was tempted in every possible way, yet without sin. He has given us a blueprint on how to walk that road also.

This devotional explores an indepth analysis of the temptations of Jesus in the wilderness, and how they relate to our every day lives. The devil may not be manifesting physically with horns, but he is for sure tempting us everyday like he did Jesus.

Arm yourself with the truth of scripture and the analysis of this devotional. We are able to overcome both the subtle and apparent temptations of the devil; just like Jesus did.
