Yield Not To Temptation # 2

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

We all sin. We are all tempted to sin. However, the temptation itself is not the sin, yielding to the temptation is the sin. The temptation is basically a test to see if we will do right or wrong.

God will not allow more to be put in front of us or upon us that we are able to bear. With each temptation He will also provide for us a way out or a way to avoid giving in to it.

Temptation is like a storm. God did not say that there would not be storms in our life but that He would be with us during the storm and guide us safely through the storm to the other side.

No matter what situation we find ourselves in, there will always be a morally correct option available for us to choose that does not involve disobedience to any of God's moral laws. We just have to pray to God for His help and strength to choose to obey His word.
