A WAY OUT

1 Corinthians 10:13
But remember that the temptations
that come into your life are no
different from what others experience.
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.



Here’s a silly anecdote for you: The head of a dormitory was giving instructions to the residents informing them that the, “Male students are not allowed into female dorms, and female students are not allowed into male dorms. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time. The second time you will be fined $60. A third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?" A male student asked, "How much for a season pass?" Instructions are meant to be obeyed and not to be violated. God's rules even have the sovereignty of His throne. That said, during times of fleshly temptation, you need to remember that God is faithful to show you a way out. If you are faithful and obedient when following Him, the way out that He provides will be obvious and easy to see.

This is very true. There is always a way out. It may not always be prominent, too. Say you're about to have sex with someone. A guilty thought could be your way out. Anything really. It's truly quite simple.
