1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
“I don’t have a choice!” I can’t tell you how many times I heard my students or even kids say this phrase. I told them there is always a choice. You just may not always like the options.
The same goes for all of us. You always have choices no matter what situation you find yourself in from day to day. God provides exits even where temptations are concerned. You just need to go looking for them instead of staying where you are. When you kick and scream against them you are no better than my students.
There is no such thing as I just couldn’t help myself. There is no blaming other people. No, you have control over you. As a matter of fact, you are the only thing you can control. You have choices.
Here is the best part. Listen carefully! When you have made the wrong choice, you have a choice too! God will still provide exits here, here, and here! You still have a choice to get out. Those paths may be lined with harder choices than you have ever made, but they are choices. Each choice can lead you right back to God where you belong. So what choices will you make today?
Lord, thank You for choices. Thank You for helping me find the right ones. ~amen
