[Temptation]

"For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted."
- Hebrews 2:18


When you are tempted by the Devil, do you seem to give in to him or do you turn away from it and turn to God like He wants us all to do? I know that I struggle with giving into temptation a WHOLE lot, but when I read and think of this verse, it helps me a lot.
It is so GREAT to know that the One I worship in Heaven can help me because He is alive, and He went through the same situations and circumstances as I have and will have.
God wants to guide us out of every single temptation that Satan throws our way. And that is why He makes a way out or an escape for us. God loves everyone. He loves you so, so, so very much and He just wants to help you with any and every problem you are going through.
It may seem really hard to say 'no' sometimes, but just remember that God knows best. He is just waiting for you to ask for His help.

Diving Deeper:
Study James 1:12. What does James say that we will recieve if we endure temptation? The only way we can endure temptation is through Jesus Christ. Without Him and the guidance that He provides for us, we are helpless. So when you are tempted, don't let your pride take over, but trust and rely on the only One that can help you and give you all the answers.
