As I looked into their eyes.....

As I looked into their I eyes I was filled with passion for their safety in face of temptation. They are 2nd graders facing the Summer. They will have time on their hands and it was my concern they have a tool to deal with temptation.
The Scripture that stood as teachable to 2nd graders was 1 Corinthians 10:13. It says:
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And 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."
The two things I taught 2nd graders should work for adults!
1st- God would let you be tempted beyond what you can stand
2nd- He will provide a way out

All the power of our Lord is behind us as we face temptation -but we can face it with confidence of His aid. Hebrews 2:18 "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able ti help those who are being tempted."

May you rely on HIS help. Look for a way out.
