I think we have all had those moments where we almost consider ourselves better because someone else\u2019s struggle is not ours and we \u201cknow better\u201d. I think that is exactly what this verse is talking about. We need to realize that we might be just as easily wrapped up in the same sin or another sin that said person doesn\u2019t struggle with. Everybody has their own struggles and strongholds that they are dealing with and just because something is easy for us to say no to, doesn\u2019t mean it is for the next person. One way to be in a good spot is to stay humble, not arrogant, and stay in constant communication with God, because He is really the only Way to truly overcome temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.\u201d -Margaret Thatcher<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTemptation is Satan\u2019s weapon to defeat us, but it can become God\u2019s tool to build us.\u201d -Dr. Warren Wiersbe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dad Joke of the Day:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My teacher told me not to worry about spelling because in the future there will be autocorrect.
