Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
"The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." Temptations come to us all, and there is nothing we can really do to avoid that. However, there is something we can do when temptations do come: call on the name of the Lord. Too often we are all guilty of the sin of self-sufficiency. We believe we can do it all ourselves, and so don't ask God for help. And so we fall to temptation. This is not how God wants it. When we are tempted God wants us to be like Jesus in the wilderness. God wants us to rely on his name, his strength, and his love. In being totally reliant on God we can defeat the powers of temptation so that we do not fall into sin. God bless you.
