Matthew 26:41 NLT (Jesus speaking)
"Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!”
Personal Challenge...
Temptation, that terrible thing that creeps up on us and surprises us...leading us to do something that we really don't want to do. But here Jesus tells us how to defeat temptation. Keep alert and be constantly in prayer. Isn't one of the best defenses a good offense? I cannot be lazy in my life, I cannot let acedia (check out this old word) stake it's claim in my life, if I want to overpower temptation in my life.
