Through God’s Eyes
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.—Hebrews 2:18 (NIV)
Jesus’ actions when he was tempted show us that the best way to fight temptation is to focus on the bigger picture. When you know and use God’s Word you are equipped to resist whatever trials you face. Jesus knows what it is to be tempted and understands what you are going through.
Heavenly Father, my faith and my relationship with You is more important than any temptation.
