March 7th: Temptation - Good, Bad ? Mark 1:12

"At once the Spirit sent him (Jesus) into the desert, and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him." Mk 1:12

Being tempted (the state-of being tempted)...40 days of being tempted...that's a lot of temptation.

Question: Does a day-go-by when you (we) are NOT tempted? .......

Temptation can lead to certain effects:
(1) We just constantly live in sin without really thinking about it. (Constantly falling to temptation);
(2) We "know of" the temptation but fall to it on most occasions;
(3) We are very aware of the "devil's schemes" and fight his temptations (using the Word of God . We take temptations, rise above them, stand on the whole truth of God's Word, and live & proclaim a victorious life in Christ...no not perfection but victorious in Godly character because we have faced inner testing and continue to Stand-On-The-Rock!!.

Today, if we are to WAJD, we must follow Jesus's example and face-up to our temptation with the whole Word of Truth and break down the stronghold's that can cause us to be weak and feeble in the midst of the battle. (While angels attend to us.)
