"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 b able to endure it." -I Corinthians 10:13 (NASB)
There are many things that might tempt us. We may be tempted by a piece of candy or an extra serving of food when we are on a diet, a deal at the store that is "too good" to pass up, holding on to a grudge when we should forgive, or many other things. When we are faced with things that tempt us, we need to remember that we do have help resisting these temptations!
God knows that we are human and that we will be tempted. When we are tempted, we need to stop and pray for help resisting temptation. After we ask for help, we need to listen so we know the way of escape that God provides for us. Once we know the path, then we can follow it, resist the temptation, and move closer to God.
When facing temptation, stop, pray, and listen for the pathway of escape!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for providing a pathway of escape from temptation. Help me to stop and listen for Your guidance away from temptation and closer to You. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
