So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
If you have fallen to a sin, let’s call it like it is… the Devil didn’t make you do it.
We’re human. We have a flesh that wants to stray and enjoy sin. It’s a constant battle. So don’t let yourself get relaxed in the fight. We have to be on high alert 24/7.
But we are not alone in this war. Everything we are struggling with and fighting against, our brothers and sisters around the world are going through the same conflicts. What’s even better is that we know YHWH will not let us be tempted beyond our capacity to overcome. He will always make a way for us to stand up under the pressure.
The bottom line here… Don’t forget what we’re in. … A War Zone.
Let this be a focus in your time of meditation throughout the day. Until next time, Shalom.
