STOP AND THINK – Resisting temptation is not founded on the reality of your circumstances but on the resolve of your commitment! (Scott Distler, American pastor)
Do you remember the comedian who joked, “The devil made me do it”? We do make excuses for our failures, don’t we? It’s always someone else’s fault, or the circumstances are beyond our control. In reality, however, if we’re honest with ourselves, we most often have to admit that we’ve lacked the commitment to do right and avoid wrong.
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 stand up under it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
