A Limit to Temptation

Scripture 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Observation: I’m constantly being tempted by the devil and my own weakness. It used to be so hard to resist that temptation and I often gave in, but as I grow stronger in my faith I can see it coming and I turn to God for help right away. Instead of having my mind full of wrong desires I fill it with thoughts of God. If my heart and mind are focused on my Lord there is no room for temptation.

Application: I need to stay focused on God’s will for my life and as soon as I feel that I’m being tempted I need to turn to Him for help. Make sure I’m not in situations and places where I might be tempted. Always be aware of why I’m here, to glorify God.

Prayer My Lord continue to help me each day stay away of evil thoughts and actions and direct me in the way you desire me to go. Keep me focused on You today as I take my life a day at a time.
