“For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:32-33‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:13-14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Sin occurs when we are drawn away by our lust or desires which then give rise to sin. God doesn’t tempt us but our own being drawn away tempts us. We freely walk into sin.

Jesus dealt with temptation to sin by fervent and intense seeking of His Heavenly Father.

He did not use extreme and superior will power!

Seeking Jesus Christ is the best distraction from our lusts and desires which so easily drag us into sin.

Seeking is something that occupies us in times where we’d otherwise be tempted. Fill our idle time with seeking and pursuing rather than watching things that are themselves tempting. On phones or TV or internet browsing.

Getting a real glimpse of Jesus Christ and Living for the glory of the father. Seeking righteousness moment by moment.

Which is the beginning motivation for pursuing him. I am convinced it is the only thing in life strong enough to overcome our tendency to walk right into temptation and then sin.

Seeking Jesus Christ is a preoccupation in place of Satan’s world system. His system which can addict us and entangle us with all sorts of fruitless deeds of darkness.
