He is Faithful!Posted Sep-25-07 06:08:50 PDT No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. 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 you can stand up under it.
1 Corinthians 10:13
In a culture filled with moral depravity and sin-inducing pressures, Paul gave strong encouragement to the Corinthians about temptation. He said that wrong desires and temptations happen to everyone, so don't feel as if you've been singled out; others have resisted temptation, and so can you; any temptation can be resisted, because God will help you resist it. God helps to resist temptation by helping you recognize those people and situations that give you trouble, run from anything you know is wrong, choose to do only what is right, pray for God's help and seek friends who love God and offer help when you are tempted. Running from a tempting situation is your first step on the way to victory. You need to remember that the temptation is not the sin; it is the acting on the temptation that gives birth to sin. Temptation is a normal, natural course of life, but one that God is deeply invested in, and one in which God will come alongside you and aid you in times of trouble. He is faithful in all things.
God Bless you,
