Tempted?

8/24/2014

"No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." 
-I Corinthians 10:13 (NASB)
Traveling to work, sitting down to watch T.V., or flipping through the pages of a magazine, we find ourselves bombarded by advertisements.  Each of these messages has been carefully crafted to grab our attention and tempt us to buy something or to think a certain way.  Beyond these more obvious temptations, we are continually bombarded by more subtle or hidden temptations.  What are we to do?

God knows that we live in a world filled with temptations.  We learn in I Corinthians (10:13) that all of our temptations are common to mankind.  In fact, we have created many of the temptations that we face!  Even though there are temptations all around us, we can be reassured that God will not allow a temptation that we cannot overcome or escape.  We can rely on God and ask for His guidance in helping us to avoid temptations by finding His provided escape away from the temptation.

When you are tempted, pray and listen to God in order to find the escape route and endure!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being there for me.  Thank You for not allowing temptations that I cannot overcome.  Please guide me so that I can avoid temptations by following the escape that You provide for me.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
