Have you ever been in a situation where you were tempted and you gave in?

All of us are guilty of this. But, after we have indulged in the temptation, we feel sick, we feel disgusted with ourselves; and we ponder why we did not take the way of escape when it was so clear to us. My brothers and sisters in Christ, we are human, and God understands our frailty, he understands that we would be tested, that we would be angry, for he himself was angry and tested, yet he did not give in. God’s promise to us, is that he will always be our comforter and that he will always provide a way out for us, but we have to trust him, to believe, that he is able to do what he says he will do. Thank you, Lord, for the many times that you have provided a way out for me; and forgive me, for the many times I took the other way. It has brought me nothing but shame and disappointment. Give me strength Lord, in times of adversity and temptation. Amen!
