Proverbs 7 "Living In The Fast Lane"

Jesus spoke 3 words that should get all our attention when it comes to temptations in life. “Remember Lot’s wife.” (Luke 17:32) Regardless of your position, status, location or standing in life, each of us is going to face temptations. Jesus is telling us that we can do something about the temptations that come our way. Refuse to put yourself in a place where you know the percentages are high that you will yield to that temptation.

One may be tempted to steal, another to lie, and someone else to cheat. We are all susceptible to temptations in life. Everybody is vulnerable when it comes to temptations. It doesn’t matter if you’re Dr Billy Graham. Recently I heard a story where a minister went to Dr Graham and asked him, “Would you pray for me.” Dr Billy Graham’s response was, “First, I want you to pray for me that I will stay faithful to the end.” All of us will have our own temptations in life.

God is faithful. “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 Cor 10:13)

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. God declares, “There is a way of escape from your potential failure.” God is for you today, Look to Him who is more than able to deliver you from the slippery slope that Satan has set for you.
