Jesus, you
are my only hope, I don't have a plan B.
I have
been a little all over the place this morning from reading a book spending time
in Matthew spending time and John listening to a sermon by Dave Busby and here
I am on 1st Corinthians 10:13
NIV 10:13 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.
The Mirror version 10:13 Your situation is not unique! Every
human life faces contradictions! Here is the good news: God believes in your
freedom! He has made it possible for you to triumph in every situation that you
will ever encounter!
I have
always read this and thought God's never going to tempt me beyond my abilities
to bear and that he's always going to provide a way out. Which for me I used to
think that maybe I'll get a phone call or somebody would show up at my house. Sometimes I would get the phone call, but then I have too answer it Never clicked until this morning that I think what He means is the way
out is that you have to endure it and walk through it. I mean what if the
phone doesn't ring? What if the person
doesn't come to your house? What if and all you have is Jesus to go through
this? To go deeper further still. The
way out is Jesus.
What if
you have a car wreck and roll your car down the embankment and you are pinned
in the car. Your cell phone doesn't work you can't get out you have no choice
but to rely on him whether it's a Temptation or a trial
John 16:33
I have said these
things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have
tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
