Happy is the man who is always on guard.—Prov. 28:14.

 

We can be certain that keeping on guard against temptation is worth the effort. Whatever “temporary enjoyment” sin may offer, living by Jehovah’s standards will make us far happier. (Heb. 11:25; Ps. 19:8) That is because we are designed to live according to his ways. (Gen. 1:27) Thus we will enjoy a clean conscience and keep ourselves in line for everlasting life. (1 Tim. 6:12; 2 Tim. 1:3; Jude 20, 21) True, “the flesh is weak.” (Matt. 26:41) But this does not mean that we are helpless. Jehovah stands ready to give us the needed power. (2 Cor. 4:7) Note, however, that it is the power beyond what is normal that God provides. The normal power—the effort we put forth from day to day to guard against temptation—is our responsibility to supply. Jehovah will answer our prayers for added strength when we need it. (1 Cor. 10:13) Yes, with Jehovah’s help, we can keep on guard against temptation. w24.07 19 ¶19-21

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
