YOU ARE NOT ALONE.....

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:  but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;  but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in the Lord,  in this context, Apostle Paul, encourages us to be strong in the Lord, through temptations;  for the Lord is faithful, and will not allow our trials to be too difficult to bear, but will provide a way for us through the temptation to overcome.

Case in point, as believers, when things go wrong in our lives, do we blame ourselves or others?, Brethren, we need not blame anyone for our downfalls;  but to submit ourselves to the Lord through prayers, and supplications:  have patience, and wait on the Lord,  for breakthrough from the storm.

Also, we need to realize that temptations are from the enemy forces, but not from the Lord;  when temptation comes our way, the outcome of the temptation, depends on us; whether we endure to the end, or fall away from our faith as Christians:  brethren, we need to be patient in the storm; believe in Jesus, to make a way for us to escape from the temptation, and restore our lives with abundance of blessings.

(Obadiah 1:17)  But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness:  and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

CONCLUSION:

Believer in Christ, are you in a difficult situation today? (loss of employment, family death, bankruptcy, illness, or depression);  You are not alone!  Jesus, is in the situation with you; pray to the father through his name;  submit everything under his mighty hand of authority;  pray for deliverance and restoration.  He is able to make a way for you to escape from the temptation by his blood.  He is always faithful, trust in him!  Amen and Amen!

(James 1:2-4)  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;  (3)  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.  (4)  But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
