No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape.
1 Corinthians 10:13
Temptation comes all dressed up and looking good. It may come from our own family and friends. It may be something as innocent looking as spending money to go out with friends, when we know we have a car payment due and rationalizing it can be late and will be OK.
Or, it may mean we do things which hurt those who love and care about us.
In the end yielding to temptation can put a world of hurt on us and others.
God promises us that there is no temptation so great that we cannot resist it. The power to walk away is a super power God has endowed us with, and we can use it.
God is faithful and will provide a way of escape.
