#26 OVERCOMING TEMPTATION

There’s a temptation for everyone, food, fame, money just to name a few. As one person said, “I can resist anything except temptation.” In the Bible, temptation relates to various kinds of transgressions. Breaking God’s law is one form of temptation, following our natural will against God can also be a temptation. There is only one way to overcome temptation, that’s through the power of God in your life. God will equip you to overcome any temptation if you let Him.
