Temptation

Bro Jenkins shared this scripture today in Sunday School. Great scripture!

1 Corinthians 10:13 ​There hath no temptation ​​​taken​ you but such as is common to man: but God ​is​ faithful, who will not suffer you to be ​​​tempted​ above that ye are able; but will with the ​​​temptation​ also make a way to ​​​escape​, that ye may be able to ​​​bear​ ​it.

From Elder Hale:  Each temptation we overcome is to strengthen us, not destroy us. The Lord will never allow us to suffer beyond what we can endure. 

We must remember that the adversary knows us extremely well. He knows where, when, and how to tempt us. If we are obedient to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, we can learn to recognize the adversary’s enticements. Before we yield to temptation, we must learn to say with  unflinching resolve, “Get thee behind me, Satan” (Matthew 16:23).

Our success is never measured by how strongly we are tempted but by how faithfully we respond.
