"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13~
I have heard people say; “God is tempting me.” WRONG! GOD does not tempt us; our evil desires are the one that tempt us. When we do not keep our focus on GOD and on the path HE has laid out for us we become tempted. Temptation has many forms; drinking, cheating, lying, pornography; anything that can eventually bring us harm and shame can be consider as a temptation.
The best thing about all of it is that GOD will never let us be tempted beyond what we can handle. Every temptation has a solution; the solution is as simple as a prayer. When you feel the urge of doing something you know is not right and will take your focus away from what really matters, PRAY!
GOD’s way out for our temptation is prayer and knowing HIS word. Claiming HIS’ promises, keeping our faith and feet on the right path. There is nothing in this world worth getting in trouble. The reward that await all of us who have accepted JESUS as our LORD and SAVIOR is one that this world could never offer and don’t have anything to compare to.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Will you call on GOD on your moment of weakness? Or will you try to deal with your temptation(s) by yourself? Do not let temptations get the best of you or keep you from your rewards.
