Let Us Find the Way Out
My dear son,
When you feel drawn toward a wrong path, tell me first. You do not have to test how long you can resist alone. I am your faithful Father, ready to help you find the way out.
If needed, leave the place, turn off the screen, or ask someone trustworthy for support. Choosing an available escape is wise. Give yourself the help of distance rather than lingering near temptation with only your own strength to rely on.
Tonight, consider calmly the choices that will protect your life. Ask for wisdom, make the needed preparations, and then rest your body. Live as a child who relies on the Father's help.
With all my love,
Your Father
1 Corinthians 10:13
WEB13No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
A short reflection
In his warning against idolatry, Paul teaches that God is faithful and provides a way through temptation so believers can endure it.
