Respond Like Moses to Temptation

Deceive Me Not
BY ELDER GARY E. STEVENSON Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Now pay attention to how Moses further responds. He declares, “Get thee hence, Satan; deceive me not.” There is much we can learn from Moses’s mighty response to temptation from the adversary. I invite you to respond the same way when you feel influenced by temptation. Command the enemy of your soul by saying: “Go away! You have no glory. Do not tempt or lie to me! For I know I am a child of God. And I will always call upon my God for His help.”...

Moses’s resistance of the adversary is a vivid and enlightening example for each of us, no matter our stage in life. It is a powerful message for you personally—to know what to do when he tries to deceive you. For you, like Moses, have been blessed with the gift of heavenly help.
