*A Way Out*

Life is full of difficulties and challenges.
Especially as Christians, our desire to follow God’s paths for our lives can sometimes go directly against what our culture tells us to do. Living according to God’s way can be particularly difficult because of various temptations that might cause us to get distracted.

*1 Corinthians 10:13* casually acknowledges that we will all experience temptation. It also does not promise that all of our temptations will be easy to overcome.
But it also says that God promises to be faithful to help us through whatever temptations we face. God will provide a way for us to escape every temptation. God will strengthen us so we can endure through trials.
God has given us instructions and a pathway for right-living in His Word. Everything that we need in order to live a healthy, godly life is included in Scripture.

Paul, the author of the letters to the church in Corinth, cautions his readers not to be prideful in their spiritual life. When we are prideful, we can falsely believe that we’re immune to temptations. But when we’re prideful, we are actually most susceptible to fall into temptation.

So rather than being arrogant, we should be humble. We ought to depend on God’s power rather than our own. It is only through a growing relationship with Jesus that we truly find the strength to endure trials and temptations.

If we find ourselves caught in temptations, let's draw near to God. Asking Him to give us His strength so that we can endure. Making it a priority to strengthen our relationship in Him through reading God’s Word and praying to Him.

Never forget that God always provides a way for us to escape temptation. He is always faithful and always with us.

*A Prayer For When We Are Tempted*

Father God, we thank You for always providing a way out of temptation. Because we know Your Son, sin doesn’t have control over our lives. But because the world isn’t fully restored yet, we still find ourselves tempted. Your Word says that You will be with us. Thank You! Please give us the courage to say “no” to the things that could harm us. We want to faithfully follow You at all times. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
