“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 NLT)
Most of us struggle with the temptation to eat foods that are unhealthy. When we go on a diet, we rely on willpower and discipline to resist our cravings. However, it’s only a matter of time before we justify succumbing to temptations. Indulging our desires merely inflames them. Even suppressing our urges is only temporarily effective.
Fighting temptation on our own can be dangerous. It’s like getting to a roadblock and crashing through it anyway. You may be moving forward, but it’s a perilous path. The Spirit shows us a different way--a detour to the temptation of self-reliance. God is faithful. As long as we depend on Him, He will help us come through every affliction.
