Temptation

(ME AT 305 POUNDS!)
1 Corinthians 10:13 – 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.

Think about this one; temptation…. Everyone has it; the verse says it is common to man. Knowing that God is faithful and will not let me be tempted beyond what I can bear…. Is encouraging. You may be thinking what is it I can bear? Right now for those of you who are signed up to this daily reading and myself we are called to bear our weight and losing our excess that we have accumulated. The verse also says; God will provide a way out when we are tempted. How many of you can think about a time when you were about to eat something you shouldn't have and you were either caught by a family member, the phone rang, you cut your finger with a knife or you might have dropped it on the floor and the dog snatched it up right away. Those and other things that might have occurred are ways of God providing a way for us around the temptation. Are we listening to God?
