"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."

We've all been tempted. Satan created a silver bullet specifically for us. "No one will ever find out, and it won't damage anyone anyway," a voice similar to ours said quietly. Even if those two statements were accurate, which they nearly never are, it wouldn't matter since we succumbed to what we knew was wrong. One method to fight temptation is to recognize that we are not alone in dealing with it. Others have gone through it and triumphed, and we can too with God's help and the power of the Holy Spirit.

TEMPTATION... All of us have been there. Satan's silver bullet designed just for us personally. "No one will ever know, and it won't hurt anyone anyway," a mysterious voice whispers in a way that sounds like our own. Even if those two things were true, which they almost never are, it wouldn't matter because something in us gave in to what we knew was wrong. One way to fight temptation is to remind ourselves that we are not the only ones facing it. Others have faced it and won, so with God's help and the power of the Holy Spirit, we can too.
