There are no new temptations; only the same old temptations wearing new disguises. Look beneath their distinctly modern veneers, and you will find the same three faces – a hunger for significance, the lure of materialism and power, and the temptation to use God rather than serve Him. These three temptations appeal to all of us at our most vulnerable points, and they represent Satan’s best chance to lead us astray.

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man”

— 2 Corinthians 10:13

Lord Jesus, give us eyes to see beneath temptation’s alluring veneer and the will to resist its deadly devises. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
