Tempting

This go round I want to tackle something we are surrounded by every minute of every day, Temptation. It's very easy to list temptations and tell you how you should beat it or stand tall, but this time I just want to give some scripture, some prayer, and ask some questions. First up, the questions. For those facebook readers, please comment with answers!
What is temptation and what does it mean in today's world?
Are there times you find yourself defeating in with God?
How often do you find yourself defending it to God?
Do you ever blame YOUR faults on God?
Next up - scripture:
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
and of course with a little background, when Satan had tempted Jesus through his 40 days in the desert, Jesus said this:Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only'
Matthew 4:4, 7, 10.

And finally, a prayer:
 Lord,
      Temptations come my way and my first response is to yield. Help me to know that the power of Your Word sets me free and gives me victory.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen
