James 1:13 KJV
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Many of us usually think that temptations and tests are the same but this is not so. Temptations are traps and usually they are used by the devil when he deceives the children of God to sin against God. And then tests are incidences that are used by God to examine your faith in Him and to grow and increase it as well. That is why when we pray to God we ask Him to “lead us not into temptation” because when we are tempted he makes a way for us to escape our temptations.
Temptations come in different forms and in different parts of your life. Mostly temptations come by means of your weaknesses because every enemy attacks their opposition through their weakness. In order for us to protect ourselves we need to put on the amour of God at all times so that we know that we are always prepared to face the devil and his temptations. (I Corinthians 10:13)
