So Many Temptations

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity.  God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so that you are able to bear it.  1 Corinthians 10:13

This world is filled to the brim with temptations.  Some of these temptations are small;  eating a second scoop of ice cream, for example, is tempting, but not very dangerous.  Other temptations, however, are not nearly so harmless.  The devil is working 24/7, and he's causing pain and heartache in more ways than ever before.  Thankfully, in the battle against Satan, we are never alone.  God is always with us, and He gives us the power to resist temptation whenever we ask Him for the strength to do so.

In a letter to believers, Peter offered a stern warning: "Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8).  As Christians, we must take that warning seriously, and we must behave accordingly.

Sometimes immorality is obvious and sometimes it's not.  So beware: the most subtle forms of sin are often the most dangerous.
