God’s Exit Strategy

Today’s Scripture: There hath no temptation taken hold of you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Cor 10:13

An Exit Strategy is a “pre-planned means of removing oneself from a situation that is likely to become difficult or unpleasant.”  It is said that all investors should have some sort of exit strategy and it should be included in all business plans.

Ladies today’s scripture is telling us that God always have an exit strategy ready for when we are tempted. He does not promise us that temptations will not come but He promises us that He will provide a way out so that we can bear the temptations.

Have you ever been in a situation where temptation comes and the phone rang, or you are reminded of something someone said? Have you ever been in a tempting situation and the perfect opportunity comes for you to run? Ladies, these are examples of exit strategies that the Lord has provided, however a lot of times we do not take them because the temptation itself is very enticing and satisfies our lusts or desires.

1 Peter 5:8 implores us to be alert and sober in mind because our enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. As such when we do not take the way out that the Lord has provided we are only giving the devil space to devour us.

Today’s scripture also tells us that there is no temptation that will take hold of you that is not common to man and it further tells us that God is faithful and He will not allow us to be tempted more than we can bear. It simply means that whatever we are tempted with we have the power to endure and it will not kill us.

Ladies today my I challenge you to take the way out of the temptation remembering that others throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings so all we have to do is to resist the enemy and stand firm in our faith (1 Peter 5:9)

Let’s Pray,

Mighty God, thank you for providing a way of escape for us during times of temptations. Help us to be strong and endure.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Have a God Filled Day Ladies
