When Temptation Comes: Run to Jesus預覽

## The Lord is a Strong Tower As the years go by and I continue to walk with Jesus, it has become more evident to me the areas where I am most likely to encounter temptation that leads to sin. I guess you have 2-3 major areas in your life that keep tripping you up. So what can we do to fight back against these areas that feel like quicksand that keeps trying to pull us under no matter how hard we try to escape? In the presence of our loving Savior, the Holy Spirit will help us identify these areas of weakness. He is our "strong tower," and we are safe when we run to Him. Once the Holy Spirit brings our sin into the light, we are free to confess how we have fallen short. 1 John 1:9 tells us, "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Today, I encourage you to carve out time in a quiet space alone with Jesus. If you are able, kneel before him in a posture of surrender. In this place, ask Him a straightforward question - "Lord, please reveal to me the areas of my life where I am most often prone to sin." Then, sit in silence for as long as it takes for Him to speak. I promise you He will meet you right where you are in that place.
