“Any temptation you face will be nothing new. But God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can handle. But He always provides a way of escape so that you will be able to endure and keep moving forward.” (I Corinthians 10: 13, the Voice Translation)

Progress is God’s law. To continue to grow in love and in spiritual understanding is what God requires for us. God made us to know Him, to realize His goodness and to express more fully His nature.

So, we surely can’t be allowed to linger in bad behavior, or to be stuck in a challenge from which it seems impossible to break free. When we are tempted to do what isn’t right for us or when we get pulled into a scenario that seems to mesmerize us with emotions or fear, we can remember that God is with us.

What seems overwhelming and beyond us, is not something God can’t handle. The very trials of our faith and our own sense of who we are can usher in new understanding, a refreshed awareness of what is important, and the humility that can be so saving.

God will always open a way—an escape from what seems to be our fate, our personal flaws, our temptations. He will rescue us with His direction, His Love, His timely provisions, and keep us moving forward with renewed light and the joy of genuine gratitude.
