Letting Go, To Walk Away

There will always be temptation in front of us that has the potential to cause us to stumble. Yet that doesn’t mean that every time we are tempted we have to fall. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

God allows satan to tempt us yet He puts limitations on the temptations in which satan is allowed to tempt. Not only so but God also provides a way out of the temptation so that we won’t stumble. Is that way always desirable? Perhaps not, reasons being because usually God’s way will cause us to have to give up something. That something may be pride. Look at this way; the path of escape is only designed for you and your ego is too big to fit. Therefore if you’re going to walk away from the temptation you may have to leave something behind.

Could this be you? Has God given you a way out and it seems too hard to walk away from your temptation. Maybe it’s only hard because you’re trying to keep what God wants you to let go of. Trust that whatever you are holding on too is not worth you dying for, simply let go.
