God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12)
When you face testing and temptation, remember this verse. God promises to bless you and give you the crown of life when you endure and obey Him.
The enemy wants you to give in to temptation and disobey God because he knows it will rob you of the life God intends for you. But when you resist temptation and choose obedience, you will be blessed.
Think about how you feel when you give in to sin. There is often regret, pain, and in some cases, lifelong consequences.
Choose to endure temptation rather than give in to sin. God sees your faithfulness and He will bless you for it.~ Jeff M Newman

God Can Do Far More Abundantly Beyond All That We Ask or Think
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
