We Gain Strength

By Kay Heitsch

We gain the strength of the temptation we resist. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote ~

We should consider not what temptation offers but what we will lose if we give in. When we resist harmful temptations, we gain strength.

Our Bible verse says. Keep watch and pray so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!” Matthew 26:41

We are to watch and pray. To avoid giving in to temptations, we must also pay attention to where we might be tempted to compromise and pray. Our spirits are willing, but our bodies are weak.

We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
