The key to overcoming temptation is the way we live our lives before temptation strikes. If we wait until the enemy has us cornered before we attempt to draw upon the strength of Christ we will likely fail. Instead we must daily draw upon His strength so we can confront temptation from a position of spiritual strength rather than one of weakness. Even then we will likely require an infusion of spiritual power in order to overcome.
“…I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me…For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, You are my only hope. “Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling. O lamb of God I come, I come.” Amen.
