. I Corinthians 10:11-13, These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
Facing Adversity and Challenges – Today’s Scripture is a little different, in that it focuses on temptation. Paul seems to indicate that the Corinthians were overly sure of themselves. Of course, the Israelites had been as well. They put a lot of confidence in their own abilities. The reality is that when we put too much confidence in our own skills and abilities rather than in God, we can easily fall. We can be tempted and mess up.
Think about a time in your own life in which you put too much emphasis on what you could do and you ended up failing. Maybe you encountered a difficult challenge and you did all you could to handle it totally on your own without any prayer or discussion with God. What was the result? Lean on God. In temptation, lean on God. In dealing with hardship, lean on God. God is strong and powerful. He won’t let us be tempted more than we can handle. He helps us find solutions to the most difficult of problems. God can make a way where there seems to be no way.
Let’s pray…Lord Jesus, Thank you for how my security and confidence can be found in you. Help me not veer. It’s so easy for us to rely on ourselves only. Lord, continue to remind us that we need you. In Your Name, Amen.
Our staff and leadership employ what's called the “S.O.A.P. Method”. It stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. Each day, we read one or two chapters of Scripture and focus on one particular verse. We make some observations about how that verse touches us, discern how it applies to our lives, and offer a prayer related to what we have read. - Rev.
