God’s Faithfulness

Does God abandon you when you are tempted to do the wrong thing? Where is God when you are confronted with temptation?
Not only is God present with you when you are tempted to do the wrong thing, God is faithful and is actively providing you with a way to escape and endure your temptation.
The Apostle Paul instructed the Corinthian church with this encouragement, saying, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV).
God is faithful. God is with us. God is for us. God is present with us in our temptation and God is working to help us to endure our temptation and to help provide us a way of escape from our temptation.
May we recognize that our temptation to sin is common, and that our God is faithful and he is with us and will provide us a way of escape.
A Collect for Guidance: “Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
