If you are a spiritual person, or believe in God, there is a big chance that you will at some point struggle with temptation. You see, temptation is not just about giving in to your sinful desires. The Bible describes it as though your body is warring against your spirit: Your sinful nature wants to do evil things all the time and what you need to do is take every thought captive to submit them to Christ (2 Cor. 10:3-5). When Jesus puts His Spirit within us, we don’t have any evil desires anymore, but the flesh keeps pestering us with various temptations in order to make us fall back into sin.
Many people become unhappy and depressed because of desires for things. Things like money, friends, romantic relationship, material possessions and power may seem to be the solution to your problems but in the long term they lead to more problems. Still you are not able to stop desiring these things. You continue to pray for their fulfillment yet despite this prayer life seems empty and without meaning.
Temptation affects us all and it comes in many forms. Maybe it’s through thoughts and voices that are convincing you to do something you know God doesn’t want you to do; or perhaps, it’s a marketing message enticing you to buy something you don’t really need. Regardless of the source, the message is clear, Temptations isn’t going away anytime soon….so what are we gonna do about it?
