Anticipating Temptation, Pursuing God's Purpose
Overcoming temptation is a critical part of accomplishing God’s purpose for you.
Otherwise it will constantly derail you from the path He intends for your life.
The best way to address temptation is by getting ahead of it.
That is, by prayerfully anticipating it and understanding how it seeks to deceive you and take you down.
From here, create a “pivot plan” that will allow you to evade temptation’s enticement and pursue a constructive alternative.
The time to do this is now, before the next temptation seeks to get a grip on you.
As you pray for God to deliver you from evil, don’t expect to be passive in the
process.
Ask Him also to show you the escape route to make it happen–then follow it.
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and
he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it (1 Cor. 10:13).
