The way out!

1Corinthians 10:12 "So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!"  13 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."   If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! Whenever I think, “I’ve got this” I usually get humbled pretty quick.   I take comfort in knowing I don’t face any temptation that is not common to man.    We all struggle!!  When I first started in ministry my goal was to help alcoholics be filled with Jesus instead of booze.   What I have found in the past 20 years is we all need to be filled with Jesus instead of what ever temptation we are lusting after.    God promises a way out!!  I have been guilty of seeing the way out and still choosing to go forward in my sin.    Today may we each look to Jesus and take the way out when He shows it to us!!!   1Corinthians 10:31 “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God.”
