My devotion this morning was from Matthew 4: 1-11 and although only three temptations are actually listed, the Devil tempted Jesus way more times in those 40 days and 40 nights.
Temptation ... distracting enticements ... destructive lifestyle
Its more than ... its less than ... drugs and gangs, alcohol and drunken driving, obesity, anorexia, bulima, smoking cigarettes or marijuana or crack cocaine, swearing, robbery/stealing, pornography, abuse -- maiming, killing.
When the powers of darkness comes in like a flood (and it is all around us), the Battle belongs to the Lord!
To conquer sin, nip it in the bud of temptation.
