Day 20, October

Temptation Isn't Sin

In the day when I called, You answered me; and You strengthened me with strength (might and inflexibility to temptaion) in my inner self. Psalm 138:3

Temptation to do wrong can make you feel horrible. You may think, I shouldn't be going through this; I shouldn't be having a problem with this. But God taught me that temptation isn't sin; we sin when we give in to temptation.

The Bible says temptation will come. It doesn't say, "Woe unto him to whom it comes," it says, "Woe unto him by whose hand it comes," it says, "Woe unto him by whose hand it comes" Matthew 17:7 Jesus came to them and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid!"

Jesus told us to pray that we would not give in to the temptation when we are tempted
Luke 22:40 When he arrived at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."

Psalm 105:4 is a great way to start your day right. It says, "Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek and require His face and His presence (continually) evermore."

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
