"Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes." Ephesians 4:23
The more I study God's Word on temptations, the more I realize the importance of being specific with what tempts us.
When Satan tempted Eve he focused on a very specific thing.
When he tempted Jesus he focused on three very specific things.
For us, he focuses on very specific things and they just happen to be our weakest areas. Not only does he use them against us but he also magnifies them.
And it all starts with our thoughts.
The more we listen to him the more we allow his lies to settle in our thoughts.
But the more we listen to Christ and store His Word within us the less tempted and weak we will be.
Jesus strengthen us with Your Word. Take control of our thoughts. Help us store more of Your Word within us. Amen
