1. You can overcome temptation by following the example of Jesus.

2. I’d go on a diet for a few weeks and all I’d lost is fourteen days.

3. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst, for they are sticking to their diets.

4. Just because you’re in the wilderness, it doesn’t mean that God’s not leading.

5. The essence of all temptation is the invitation to live independent of God.

6. Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.

7. When yielding to temptation you may lose in a moment what it took a lifetime to gain.

8. Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want in the moment.

9. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:18

10. Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41
