God provides...temptation watch out!

Moving along in 1 Cor, we see Paul giving instructions on a wide range of topics...marriage, relations, diet, payment to pastors, etc... He issues both approvals and warnings. One warning is esp important to me. In 1 Cor 10:12-13, he warns about being too confident or too cockey! He notes that the very temptation we think we are so powerful at avoiding, can consume us. And, he continues that these temptations are common to man! But, he declares that God will provide a way out. Amazing how God has our back! He knows what we can bear and when we need help. So, if you think the pressure is too much, look to God, He has already provided a way out. We might see it right away, and it might not be what we expect, but it is what we need!
