There is a little rebellious voice in all of us that says, “You’re not the boss of me.” We think this is what freedom is—the ability to do whatever we want. Then God comes along and tests that theory. You face a problem that is beyond you. A rule you can’t get around. A failure you can’t undo. Here is where we face what I call the ‘control test.’ Are we going force our own will or surrender to God? This really is the core issue of every temptation: will we act with God or without Him? Here’s the amazing thing about Jesus’s answer to that test: worship is the solution. You don’t defeat temptation through willpower…you defeat it through worship.
