NO WAY? YES, WAY!

Doesn't it seem sometimes like temptation is a trap? The truth is that we have an enemy who is on the prowl. In fact the Bible says it this way in 1 Peter 5:8:

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

A lion is a hunter and this enemy will set a trap for you. When you fall into one of his traps it seems like there is just no way to escape! Today's word is for someone who feels like it is hopeless to overcome this crafty enemy. Just when you think everything is going so well, it happens. The trap is sprung, and you are snared! Listen to the good news from one of Paul's letters to the church at Corinth, in 1 Corinthians 10:12-13

¹²So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! ¹³No 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.

So you're thinking, "No way," and God's message is, "Yes, way!" I am thankful for this promise that God will not put on us more than we can bear. Follow this logic. If His word is true, then this word is true, and no matter how I feel or what I think about the present situation, He says, "Yes, you can!" Yes, we can bear it. He has provided us a way out so that we can stand up under whatever the enemy throws at us. That means that today there is a way for me, and there is a way for you too! Have a blessed day!
