Gen. 39:12 “And she caught him by his garment, saying, ‘Lie with me.’ And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got himself out.”
Fleeing Temptation is often the most prudent thing to do when Satan presses hard on our desires to do something that would grieve the Lord. Just saying, “No” may not be enough to overcome, we must sometimes walk away and remove ourselves for the appearance of evil. Being tempted is not sin and it does not mean that you are a sinful person. Satan takes natural desires that God has given us and perverts them. Our desire for material goods, to be loved and accepted are all things that God desires for us. “All these things shall be added unto you” are His words. Temptation would not be temptation if we did not desire it. God wants to fulfill the desires of our heart, mind, body and soul. He knows what we want and will give us what we need in His time.
