But
remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from
what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from
becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, He
will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.
1
Corinthians 10:13
Thoughts~
London England has a huge
underground network of trains or “tubes” as they often call them. The trains
travel underground all over the city and the WAY OUT signs help foreigners to
navigate out to the street level.
The first time I saw this
sign was on Google Images and it immediately brought to my mind 1 Corinthians
10:13, especially the last sentence: “When
you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you will not give in to
it.” God has created signs in our heart that urge us to stay clear of the
temptations that life tosses at us and on top of that, He will show us how to
get out of predicaments we find ourselves in. And gee, do we ever find
ourselves in them! Just because we are Christians doesn’t mean we will be
sheltered from temptations.
I am so thankful for this
promise and hold it close to my heart. As I study His word and apply it to my
life, the temptations that enter my life seem to have blinking lights around
them like a neon sign in Las Vegas. And God shows me the way out!
Action~
What temptations have you
faced today? Did God show you a way out or were you listening? The key word
here is listen. God will never fail to show you a way out but if you have ear
plugs in, you won’t hear Him.
Take some time to list
temptations that come your way. Next to each one, write down how God has given
you a way out. Sometimes it’s that very still whisper of the Holy Spirit,
urging you to flee. Be sure you listen. Be sure to take the ear plugs out.
Pray~
God thank you for showing me
a way out. I am in awe that You have
made life easier for me as long as I listen to You: through your word, through
Your Holy Spirit and through strong believers. Thank You for the people who
speak truth into my life.
Trusting in the Lord,
Becky
