No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
Trapped . . . Surrounded by the enemy . . . no conceivable way out? Wait a minute!
Many times we feel trapped in our circumstances or forced to act this way or that way. Not so; the evidence is plainly here in God's Word!
God knows we will be tempted and attracted to the lies of Satan. He knows very well! Even Jesus was put to the test in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). In fact, the Bible says Jesus was tempted in every way man would be!
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. (Hebrews 4:15)
God providesd a way out of every temptation to sin. We choose . . . to sin or not to sin? This IS the question!
God's Word provides direction. The Holy Spirit provides counsel and strength. God Himself provides the victory! He stands ready to do battle for every believer who calls upon His name!
There is a way out . . . use the tools God has provided!
