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. I Corinthians 10:13
Scripture taken from New International Version.
How comforting is that, to know that God will be there when you are tempted. If you listen you will even hear His voice when He offers you that way out. I can testify to that, let me tell you about it. I went to a fundraiser, afterwards the group that I was with wanted to go out drinking. My thought, "I haven't been out in a long time. This could be lots of fun. We've been having a good time so far. I can go, I can do this, I won't drink." God's voice, 'Go home. Where they are going is right on your way. Do you not have things to do? Do you not have some place you need to go in the morning? Go home.' I had my ride drop me off at home, no matter how many times I was asked, no matter the peer pressure that was applied, no matter what I stood firm.
