God...will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but...will also make the way of escape.-1Corinthians 10:13
wanda johnson, a single motger with five children, was onher way to the pawn shop, where she was hoping to get a loan of 60 dollars for her TV set. then something bizarre happened. as an armored truck filled woth sacks of money drove past her, its rear door flew open, and a bag dropped out. wanda stopped and pucked up the sack.when she counted the cash, she found that it totaled 160,000 dollars.
4A battle raged in her soul. that money would pay all her bills and provide for the needs of her children.but it wasn't hers ti keep.
after a fierce 4-hour struggle with her moral convictions, Wanda called the police and turned in the money.Her sense of doing the right thing won a victory over the temptation to keep what wasn't hers.
how strong is your ethical fiber?will it break down if you are faced with an enticing chance to do something wrong? Adam and eve, as well as Jesus were attacked by satan on three fronts: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the price of life.( 1 John 2:16). Our first parents succumbed to the serpents solicitation(Genesis 3: 1-6). Jesus did not( Mathew 4: 1-11).
7no matter what evil is pressuring us, let's follow Jesus'example and do what's right.
to withstand temptation, stand with Christ.
have a goodevening!
