Courage

Standing in Testing

"Blessed is the man who endures temptation."
James 1:12

Reflection

Resisting is not standing still: it is choosing again, every time the wrong want shows up. Each of those choices makes you stronger.

Prayer

God, help me resist and choose good. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What is a temptation?
  2. How do we keep resisting?
  3. What makes you stronger each time?

5-minute activity

Hold a light object at arm's length and count how long you can last. Try again tomorrow. Talk about how each choice for good makes us stronger. Read James 1:12-14.
