A Reader's Door of Hope

A follow up from YOU from the last post:

I cannot resist to comment on how one of you(a reader of this blog), even in the midst of deep temptation reached for their computer but noticed a new blog post and hence chose to read it rather than give into a lustful humanly natural desire. hmm...

Moved by the content chose to opt for the door out and as a result continues on the straight and narrow just flying as they flee from this temptation.

1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has SEIZED you except what is COMMON to humans. 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 you can stand up under it.

Note the words I've capitalized.

SEIZED - imagine that, the temptation SEIZES.. like you become it's slave. Whether, sex, alcohol, drugs, pornography, lust, jealousy, etc, etc....

COMMON - is key too. I thank this reader for being vulnerable enough to share with me. HOW awesome is that? I tell you they are on the road to freedom! We all struggle with temptations, we are human, but who is bold enough to talk about it? Those that desire freedom!

WHEN - truth says you WILL be tempted at all different times, but be wise and look for the way out.

I will write more later of my day but couldn't resist showing the power at work even in these simple words of truth.

Freedom is priceless. It's ours to behold, but wisdom calls for careful instruction to be followed through on.

I am running with you.
