When our girls were growing up we had a special verse we encouraged them to memorize that we felt would help them get through their teen-age years with victory. This verse is a good one for all of us - as it encourages us to get through life without succumbing to temptation or sin.
I Corinthians 10:13 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 a way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Let's look at it piece by piece:
- what you are facing in life is nothing new. Others have also faced what is looking you in the face.
- God is there with you. He won't let you be faced with more than you can bear.
- there is ALWAYS a way of escape. LOOK for a way to get away from the tempation. This is the KEY!!! Do you need to leave the place you are in? the company you are with? what you are watching on TV or the computer? Use the way of escape and stay in close fellowship with your Savior!
