[:en]As Dave Egner was fishing quietly at the water of Piatt Lake, a large small mouth bass approached the tempting night crawler on his fishhook. It stared at it and backed into the weeds. this happened several times until he spotted the hook. The he whipped his tail and disappeared.
Satan is like that tempting fish hook that looks tasty. But he can not force us to take the hook. It is you who make the decision to take it or to leave it.
Apostle Paul also experienced great temptations (Mat. 26″33-35). In his letter, he wrote: “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowl around like a roaring lion. Resist him, standing firm in the faith. (1 Pet. 5:8-9)
Just as the bass ignored the hook, you too can successful resist Satan’s temptation. Use God’s word to counter the attack of Satan.
