1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful, he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
OK - let me be honest. There are times when I don't really want to stand up against temptation, I'm not really looking for a way out, but God is faithful.
Yes - God is faithful, even when I'm not so much. Now I'm not saying that God is going to be my "fireman" for repeated, stupid, foolishness. But I have found that my prayers for deliverance and strength are sometimes answered when I'm not actually praying them. And perhaps those answers are also to the repeated prayers of my parents, my grandparents (now in heaven), and others who love me. Because - I am delivered - God provides a way out - even when I'm not looking for it at the moment.
And for that, I am truly thankful.
