Davidisms: Flee Temptation and Don't Give It a Forwarding Address

“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:13).


When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, temptation was something he specifically prayed against: “Lead us not into temptation.”

When temptation finds you, follow God’s way out.


Flee temptation and don’t give it a forwarding address!
