| Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"Cartoons and comic strips have visually portrayed the internal struggle we encounter when we face temptation. It's the proverbial angel on one shoulder and a little devil on the other. As they each whisper their advice, the listener decides which voice is most worthy of listening to.
That illustration, albeit comical, depicts the battle that happens in our minds whenever we are tempted. One of the critical differences, however, is that in reality God will never tempt us.
When temptation is encountered in the Bible, there is always the option to be faithful to God and His commands, or to follow one's own selfish desires.
When we are tempted to sin, the choice we make reflects our character and demonstrates how willing we are to follow God's ways. Temptation is a strong pull toward something that can temporarily fill our hearts when only God can genuinely satisfy our thirsty souls.
