| 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is commo to man; God is FAITHFUL, who wilL NOT ALLOW you to be tempted beyon what you are able , but with the temptaionwill also make the way of except, that you may be able to bear it."
Make NO mistake about it: we WILL BE tempted. As long as we encased in human flesh, it desires to rebel against what is good and godly. Life may have its shadows, but one thing is certain: they are never caused by God's turning or by His changing. He is faithful. James reminded us that " every good gift and very perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17
Difficulties in life are never caused by God's turning and changing. We can rest in the reality that even though we may be tempted , we have a Lord Who is faithful. God provides a way of escape fro us.
Jesus taught us how to overcome our temptation. For forty days He was tempted by the devil in the wilderness of Jude's. On each occurrence, Jesus overcome by quoting Scripture. The Word , hidden in our hearts, will also keep us from sin when applied by faith to our lives. " Blessed is the man who endures temptation: for who he has been approved, he will receive th crown of life which the Lrod has promised to those who love Him" James 1:12
For it is with God ALL things ARE POSSIBLE.
Father God, guide me today and always to do all things that will bring glory and honor to You AMEN

Location: East Texas | The first verse you quoted today is so misunderstood by many. A lot of people believe that the Bible says that God will not let us go through more than we can bear. No where in the Bible does it say that... Instead, as you have explained here, the Bible specifically says, that there is no temptation so bad that He can't provide a way out for us, and that we will be able to bear it.
Thank you, as always, for your awesome posts!! | |
