God's Escape Plan 9/29/2022

 Good Morning,

My mug was just filled with Door County Highlander Grog Coffee. There is a song on my heart and a smile on my face. 

1 Corinthians 10"13 No temptation has overtaken you, except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with that temptation will also make the way of escape, that you mat be able to bear it. 

Every time we are tempted to go down the wrong path in life, we are also provided a way to escape from the temptation. The first exit route that comes to mind is something we learned while beginning to speak as a toddler. We learn to say NO!!!! as one of the first words in our vocabulary. 

But as promised God always provides an exit plan to temptation. If you were one who suffers from alcoholism but still enjoys a Wisconsin Fish fry, you don't have to purchase your fish fry from a tavern. There are plenty of places that serve food and not alcohol. 

So what does 1 Corinthians 10:13 do for us? It takes away every excuse we can come up with as to why we succumbed to temptation.  

So when tempted look for the escape plan and you will find it.
