Thursday 5 May 2022 – Transformed week 1

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

Our salvation does not bring us immunity in this world. We do not suddenly become impervious to disease, harm, or painful situations. All these things still happen to believers, and temptations are no different. Some even believe that spiritual temptations are more heightened and frequent against believers.

Knowing this, we can take comfort that our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom, provides a way out so that we can continue to run the good race. No matter how powerful or influential temptations can be, we can escape them. Whether talking to a friend to keep us accountable, reading scripture, or simply running from a tempting situation, God always provides an escape route. Our God provides!

Lord, we thank you for the plans you have over us. Thank you for giving us hope and a future. Thank you for your wisdom that helps us overcome the temptations in our lives. May we rest in your peace, Lord, knowing your unfathomable love overflows for us. In your precious name, Jesus.
Amen
