James Devotional Day 3

1 Corinthians 10:13

The good news is that God has promised that He will never leave us without an escape. He never lets us get into a situation where we can't bear the pressure. Be encouraged: if you are undergoing temptation, He never lets you have more than He knows you can take. When we talk about pickup trucks as one ton, three quarter ton, and half ton, we are saying that the manufacturer who made the truck has said how much the frame of the truck can handle. Now, take a look at Psalm 139:15. "My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place." God, our manufacturer, knows our frames, He knows how much of a temptation load our frames can handle. Isn't that great? We have a promise from God. He will not put too much on our frames.

God will provide a way out, a way of escape, a freeway if you will. We cannot find the freeway or the way of escape on our own. It has to be by God's grace, His discernment and His power. But He will provide the way. He will not ever put you under too much stress. He will not bust your shocks or flatten your tires. You can trust Him.


Record how God has given a way to escape temptations in the past. How is He providing an escape in the present.
