Temptation is something that we must deal with on a daily basis. We are always being tempted and all of us in different ways. The good news is God is faithful and he will provide you the way out if you are keeping your eye out for it. The key is to be on your guard. 

“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.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV

This first reminds me that there’s always a way out if we are willing to look for it. It made me think of the movie pursuit of happiness with Will Smith. There’s I joke the son in the movie tells that I have quoted below. I think it sums up the same idea that we’re dealing with here.

 “There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said ‘Do you need help?’ and the man said ‘God will save me’. Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said ‘God will save me’, then he drowned and went to Heaven. Then the man told God, ‘God, why didn’t you save me?’ and God said ‘I sent you two boats, you dummy!'” 

I use this joke because I think it perfectly sums up a moment where someone can be so blinded did they miss the moment that’s right in front of them. God gave the faithful servant a way out, but because he had in his mind A specific Way he thought God would save him, he missed it. Sometimes we are just blinded because we can’t see past your own vision. Be on your toes and always be seeking a way to escape the temp Tatian that is in front of you. God will never give you more than you can handle.
