Proverbs 7:21
[a]
With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips
she [b]seduced him.
We’re all enticed to sin at some point, no matter how many years we’ve been walking with
God or how committed we are to Him. But it is important for us to realize that the process
of temptation starts with what we think about.
We fantasize about the object of our desires—how it would feel to possess it and how
unhappy we would be without it. As time goes on, the pressure builds. We come to the
point where we must make a choice: Will we turn away from the temptation, or will we
give in to it and the temporary pleasure it promises and face the consequences? Once we
consent, sin takes hold.
Of course, when you are a believer, the Holy Spirit will help you turn away from the
enticement during any step in this process. But be warned—it becomes increasingly
difficult the farther you go. This is why it is so incredibly important that you take every
thought captive to the obedience of Christ as soon as possible.

Meditating on God’s Word and spending time with Him will empower you to remain
steadfast in your struggle against sin.
So defend yourself by setting your mind on the things that honor the Father. Honor Him
and trust Him to deliver you. You certainly will not be disappointed.
