‘The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure.’ – 1 Corinthians 10:13
I have noticed that whenever I feel under pressure, I think and feel as though my world is ending. It feels like I’m about to break and I only want to crawl up into a corner. Perhaps you’re like me. You may think that whatever you’re going through is bending you beyond what you can endure. Please know that it won’t ever break you.
Scripture tells us that the Lord won’t let us be tempted beyond what we can endure; furthermore, He will provide a way to escape. So, whether the pressure is a temptation that seems good at this moment, and it feels as though you cannot resist – the Lord always provides an escape plan. There is nothing that has, will or can happen that the Lord has not yet seen. Let me encourage you with the same scripture – God is fighting your battles for you, and He has done it for so many too. So do not despair. Your Heavenly Father always fights for you.
You Bring Victory!
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I give You thanks and praise. I come before You and thank You for providing for me in all circumstances. I thank You that even when it feels like I am going to break, You always have me, and are keeping me safe. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
Challenge: It’s easy to feel as though nothing good can come out of what you are going through. Start every morning by reminding yourself of at least three things God is doing and has done for you to remind yourself of His presence every day.
