"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
1 Corinthians 10:13
When we read the beginning of chapter 10 we read of how all the Israelites along with Moses all ate the same spiritual food, all drank the same spiritual drink.. nevertheless with most of them God was not pleased. What made people like Moses, Joshua and Caleb stand out differently compared to everyone else ?
This is what the word of God says , "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure"
Points to be noted :
- God doesn't set us up for failure ! He positions us for the glory of His Name !
- Remember He is faithful
- He always provides a way of escape that you may be able to endure
There are no two ways about it. This is the truth. No matter what the circumstance , there is always a Godly choice that can be made.
We can choose to be overcome with our self...We can choose to be overcome with our emotions , our desires , our perspectives , our strengths...And we all know how well that goes (yup not the right choice)
To overcome is a choice... Its the difference between choosing to hang on to your own strength or choosing to hang on to His strength ! Its choosing to trust in your own abilities or choosing to trust in Him , its choosing to trust in what you see or choosing to find rest in Him because He sees it all.
I pray that no matter what the situation or circumstance that we will choose to overcome by His grace for the glory of His name
God Bless
