Peter tells us that Satan walks around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Every day we face temptation. Are we prepared to do whatever it takes to resist temptation? Joseph leaves us a great example to follow, but he also reminds us that sometimes doing what is right results in difficult consequences. Even though we may have to suffer, it is always right to do what is right.

What happens when we give in to temptation? Yes we sin; however, so much more goes on than that. David's sin with Bathsheba is a classic example of the damage done when temptation triumphs. His sin took him farther than he meant to go, cost him more than he meant to pay, and kept him longer than he meant to stay. Isn't this the way sin works in our lives as well? This story isn't just a story about the triumph of temptation, but it is also a story of grace and forgiveness and repentance.

In the Bible we have a few conversations recorded involving the devil. One was with Adam and Eve, one was with God, and one was with Jesus during His life on earth. Through these conversations we gain unique insight into the way the devil thinks and works. We also gain insight into ourselves and the situations we face in life. This lesson helps us better prepare for facing our own conversation with the devil with faith and courage.
