1 Corinthians 9:12-13 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 endure it.
God is into our protection, but He does not eliminate our temptations or struggles. Our temptations, while personal to us individually are not unique. The greatest temptation of one could be something another would never consider. That helps us when we need someone strong to hold us accountable. However, there’s nothing like being accountable to someone who truly shares your desires and understands the temptations – and has overcome. Sometimes, God allows people to endure so they can came been victorious and walk others through the path of escape He provides. If you are frustrated because of temptations, realize God may be preparing you to win your race to be able to coach someone else through. Watch for His signals of escape. He reveals them through the Word, in your prayer time, as you feel the Holy Spirit nudging you, and often through people who have overcome your temptation. God never wastes a struggle. Whatever you are enduring will be the perfect testimony someone else needs to hear to overcome!
Father, Help me to be victorious each day with temptations satan places before me. Show me how You need me to guide others who may need encouragement. You are my rock. As long as I firmly stand in faith and on Your Word, I will be victorious. I love You! Amen
