Today's reading, Matthew 4, made me think about the nature of temptation.
• Appetite: Will we trust God’s provision or satisfy our desires contrary to His will?
• Testing God: Will we trust His promises or demand that He prove Himself?
• Worship: Will we remain faithful and obedient to God or compromise our allegiance for worldly comfort and gain?
Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
