Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. I've found a widespread misconception about Satan's efforts to devour us by presenting us with temptations.
Many people think that it's a sin just to be tempted.
The fact is, being tempted is normal for a Christian-especially one who is growing. Even Christ, we recall, was tempted in that classic confrontation with the devil at the beginning of His ministry. Giving in to temptation is the problem. First, know your weaknesses. If temptation occurs when you are alone, build in some safeguards.
