Christian Devotional – February 2, 2018

Do we focus on our need to overcome temptation? Or do we just wait and figure that we will wing it when we are facing trials? See what Jesus says in Luke 22:24-48

and said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
Luke 22:46 NASB

We need to just expect that we are going to go through temptations. They are going to happen. Will we be ready for them? Jesus is telling His disciple to get up and pray so that they will be ready and will be able to overcome. Yet we need to be just as ready. Are we praying, knowing that we are going to face temptations? Are we preparing and on our guard?

Stop sleeping on the job and start preparing for what God is warning us is coming. Be ready and prepared. Temptation is coming.
