No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with temptation will also make a way of escape, that you might be able to endure it. 1 Cor 10:13

 

After living the Christian life for 40 plus years, I can tell you some days are a challenge to stay steady on the narrow path of life. So many things out there that attempt to divert my attention from God, and let’s not forget the enemy is always attacking with the goal to discourage to the point of wanting to give up.

 

Maybe you are battling a sin that you just can’t seem to avoid. You feel like you are in quick sand, slowly sinking and struggling to keep yourself moving beyond it. Can you relate?

 

Today’s passage gives us hope that God does NOT allow temptation to overcome us. And the most awesome thing about God’s children battling sin, you have a way out. You might not feel strong enough to break the chains that hold you back, but you must be willing to let go of your passion for pleasure and seek after the eternal rewards through obedience.

 

If you are in tune with God, you know He will supply all your needs to get you to overcome this sin, this addiction, this behavior that has its grip on you. You just have to be willing to let go and trust God as you move further away from the temporary to the eternal. Reach out your hand to God and He will pull you out. Reach out to Him today! God bless!
