Temptation is an unavoidable reality for every believer, but defeat is not inevitable. David’s fall with Bathsheba teaches us that temptation often strikes at unexpected moments and can affect anyone, regardless of their spiritual maturity. The process typically begins with a glance that becomes a gaze, followed by inquiry and action. However, God provides a way of escape through His Spirit’s power. Victory comes through staying alert, turning away immediately when temptation strikes, remaining occupied with God’s Word and work, and developing a specific battle plan with Scripture memorization and accountability partners.
