[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (3/18/18)[:]

[:en]In Genesis, we read how Potiphar’s wife tempted Joseph.  But Joseph knew that giving in would cause him to “sin against God”, so he fled. (Gen. 39:9-12)

Paul wrote in Corinthians:  “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.  But 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” (1 Cor. 10:13)

Temptation may knock at our door anytime.  Either is is from our own desires or through the situations and people we encounter.  The “way out” may include removing the objects of temptation or fleeing from them.  Our best course of action may be to simply walk away – Lawrence Darmani

May we ask God to give us the wisdom and strength to know when to walk away from temptations.[:]
