Have you ever wondered why resisting a late-night snack is difficult?
During the day, most people can stick to eating healthy.
But when the night comes, a lot of people feel the need to treat themselves to some “guilty pleasure.”
There is a very good reason why this happens.
And it’s the fact that as the day progresses, our willpower drops.
The Devil knows this.
And he does everything in his power to lure us away from God’s path.
He has many ways to do that.
He can give us sinful thoughts
Urge us to neglect our spiritual practices
Or push us toward unhealthy habits.
But we are not powerless against him.
We have God on our side.
Ephesians 6:11 says “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”
This includes the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the belt of truth, the shoes of peace, and the sword of the Spirit.
It is not enough to simply put on the armor, we must also be ready to use it.
We need to be aware that the Devil is always seeking to exploit our weaknesses.
And one of these weaknesses is our declining willpower as the day progresses.
When we are tired or stressed, it becomes easier to give in to temptation.
This is why it is essential to remain vigilant throughout the day, especially in the evening when we are most vulnerable.
As Christians, we have the power of prayer to strengthen us.
We should make it a habit to pray for God’s protection and strength every day.
Even when we feel well.
We should also seek to build up our willpower by developing healthy habits that can aid us in resisting temptation.
These habits might include regular exercise, getting enough rest, and avoiding situations that may trigger temptation.
Remember, we are not alone in this.
This is what Scripture says about willpower.
We can support each other and resist temptation.
Let us remain steadfast in our faith and the Devil will flee from us.
