BECAUSE MY BODY IS A TEMPLE!
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13
God does not give us temptation. Temptation comes from the flesh, we are tempted by our own desires. God does not prevent these temptations from coming upon us but He will ALWAYS provide us with a way of escaping them. God does not bring bad things upon us, but because of our free will and sin Jesus warns us that we will have troubles. He also reminds us that he has overcome the world and therefore we can have peace in knowing that if we believe and if we are followers of Christ we can overcome the temptations and we can get through the troubles.
I believe that God does, in fact, allow us to experience more than we can handle…..more than we can handle on our own, that is. I believe He does this so that we will turn to Him, so that we will lean on Him, so that we will cry out to Him. It is in these moments that we can experience and witness the true magnitude of Him and His love. It is in these moments that our testimonies are built. It is in these moments that we are drawn closer to God and our relationship is deepened. This is what God desires, He desires a deep and loving relationship with us. So when you find yourself in a situation that feels like it is more than you can handle remember that God is not tempting you, but He IS waiting for you! Waiting for you to cry out to Him so that He can show you the way out.
