When you’re being tempted, do you just stay where you are and wait until it walks away? Every human being is tempted—no one can deny it. Temptation is a strong weapon of Satan, used by him to keep us away from God. Being tempted is not a sin, but giving into temptation is. It comes after us every day.

People usually stay and hope that temptation will walk away. That’s definitely a wrong move. Temptation doesn’t walk away from anybody. It is designed to hunt us. But we have the capacity and freedom to walk away from it. When temptation comes, don’t just stay and wait—walk away, instead! Pray, then walk away, and you can be victorious!  —Teffi, Philippines
