WHEN TEMPTATIONS COME

Scripture:  1 Corinthians 10:13– “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

    “What time I am tempted, I will run to Thee.  Help me Lord to find the strength, down on my knees. Help me Lord, I can’t do this all alone. I will flee to you, till the temptation is gone.  I’ll run to the Scriptures to seek your perfect will.  I’ll stay close to you, Lord, till my heart you shall fill.  Keep me from temptations and sins that come my way. Help me Lord to lean on you each and every day.  What time I am tempted, I will run to Thee.  I know you will help me to be what I should be.  I will follow your footsteps as you gently lead.  I know you will be there every time I’m in need.  Thank you for your guidance, let my pathway be clear.  As I walk thru this valley, Lord would you stay very near.  I know in the morning, joy will come again, but for this night, Lord please help me not to sin.”
    The Scripture gives us a clear understanding of temptations in our life. We are told in our text that temptations will come!  But these precious words, “God is faithful”, are given to let us know that we will be able to make it through.  It’s not an easy thing to face temptation, but know this much, He will not allow us to be tempted above that ye are able.  
     If we could get so full of the Word of God, and get so close to the Lord that when temptations came in our lives the only answer we could give would be what thus saith the Lord! We are promised in our text verse that He would, “with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”.  I believe that way of escape is taught to us clearly by our Lord.  Use the Word of God on the devil when he comes to tempt you!
