"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. 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 stand up under it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
What tempts you? What sends waves of desire over you that seem unconquerable? What seduces you time and time again? Do you need a way out?
Not only do you have access to a way out, THE way out is yours for the taking! In the NASB, the translation reads that God "will provide the way of escape...." Interestingly, in the Greek, "The Way" in that verse is the very same as that which refers to Jesus as "the Way, the Truth, and the Life".
That's it! Jesus...the way out. Let's seek Him. Let's follow hard after Him. Let's rely on His way as our way of escaping temptation. He is able!
Jesus, lead us...guide us...help us. Our spirits are willing but our bodies are weak. Be our way of escape. We need You!
following hard after Him today-putting my hope in Him.
