1 Corinthians 10:13-14
“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.
Therefore my beloved, flee from idolatry.”

There has been many a time when I have incorrectly prayed, “oh Lord, provide a way of escape from this temptation.” The Scriptures are clear that God WILL provide a way of escape. The more accurate prayer would be, “Oh Lord, help me to TAKE the way of escape that you provide!” Praise GOD for providing a way of escape from the temptations to sin that we face. How kind, merciful and gracious of our God! AMEN?
