When
children are young, parents teach them what to do if a stranger grabs them, or
if there is a house fire. (Children are given a plan by their parents.) How
many adults have a plan for when the Devil comes knocking in the area of
temptation. Temptation can come in the face of junk food, alcohol, a person
(you need to avoid), excessive shopping, or a myriad of other things.
An
effective battle plan might involve separating yourself from the temptation
either emotionally or physically (just like Joseph in Genesis 39:11-12). What
is causing you to constantly give in to this temptation? God can help you
discover it (Psalm 139:23-24). Do not keep what tempts you within close
proximity. With God’s help, make plans to give temptation the boot.
