Blessed is the man that endureth temptations

This saying is very true for good  hearted people who are not the slaves of worldly pleasures and desires. Such persons are the  blessed ones and God too loves them. This is a Biblical saying. Temptations are always attractive and they always lead to the destructive path. When a person desires anything, he will do his best to own. To do his best, in the sense that he may use even the meanest way to get that thing. Temptations of the sensual pleasures persuade a person to do something wrong. When a person does a wrong thing he loses the peace of mind. Lord Krishna said in the holy ‘Geeta’ that when a desire is not fulfilled, it causes anger and anger destroys the wisdom of a person.

That's why a person is called a blessed one who does not desire. Who does not desire is always a happy man. Only those persons are unhappy, discontented, sad and morose who always run after the desires, even then they cannot fulfill them.

Yudhishthra in Mahabharat said that, sacrifice all the desires and one would be the richest and the happiest man of the world. That's why a person should resist the temptations because it leads to the path of sin and sufferings. Blessed persons are only those who do not give importance to the earthly pleasures and are not the slaves of these petty desires.
