Victory over temptation!
I Corinthians 10:12-13 (NKJV)
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
13 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 the temptation will also make the way of escape, that
you may be able to bear it.
++++++++++++++++++++
This verse was included in two of my readings this morning, so I thought
it might be needed by someone. Temptation is not a sin till we act on
it. We are told to flee temptation. Sometimes that means staying away
from certain places. But some temptations seem to come out of no where!
This verse tells us that God will always provide us with a way and power
to say "NO!" We must claim His deliverance.
If we say "I couldn't help myself" we are admitting that we did not
consult God about it. He does not tempt us (James 1:13), but He does
understand and will always give us a way out. Take it and run! In His
power. (See Phil 4:13)
