How to Overcome Temptation

Temptation surrounds us everywhere. We are tempted by food, drugs, alcohol, and anything that can pull us away from doing what we know is right.

Now temptation in and of itself is not a sin. But acting out and giving in to the temptation is considered a sin in God’s eyes.

No, I am not saying that if we eat a donut when we know we should have eaten the apple instead is a sin in God’s eyes. I am talking about a sin that is against what the bible tells us to do. Such as having an affair or stealing from family and friends.

So then how do we go about dealing with temptation?

I want to share with you my story of temptation and show you 5 ways that can help in dealing with it when it arises in your life.

With this story, I was able to guest post. This means Natasha from Salt & Sparrow will be showing my post on How to Overcome Temptation on her website. She has graciously taken me in and allowed me to be a part of her family. Here is the link to go to her website and read my article. Just click on the word “link” and you will be directed to her site. And while you are there don’t forget to check out some of her blog posts! Hope to see you there!
