ARE YOU LOOKING?
Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 9-10
"...And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT
Maybe you are about to lose your cool.
Or your mind.
Or quite possibly you are about to give in to a temptation that will send you into a spiritual downward spiral.
The temptation has grown so great you cannot stand it.
The lure.
The aroma.
The thoughts of it fill your mind.
Stop.
Stop for a moment and look around.
Look for the way out God has provided.
It is there.
It may seem like a petty distraction--but He may be allowing it as a brief respite from temptation. Just as He promised!
It might look like a shiny object to take your eyes off your temptation for a short time--maybe so, but that short time may be just what He has ordained for you to see Him at work.
It might be something that has been there all along--maybe He has placed it in your path the whole time as the way out for you to use. Use it!
Take Him up on His promise.
