In the Beginning - Proactively guarding against temptation

Psalm 119:11 | I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

• The fight against temptation doesn’t begin when temptation comes. What proactive or ‘before you are tempted’ strategy does Psalm 119:11 give us for fighting temptation? 

  • Have you ever used this strategy? When? How did it help? 

  • Think about what you’re tempted by most often right now. What scriptures could you memorize to help you fight temptation? 

• What other strategies do you have for fighting temptation? 

• Reflect honestly: How are you doing in the fight against temptation? What could you be doing better? Who can you enlist for help?
