Nothing New Under the Sun

1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

*Temptation of any kind always provides freedom of choice. No matter what an individual may think, they are never forced to do something during a tempting situation. Temptation is just what it implies: A situation that is baiting/tempting you to participate, but at the end of the day it is your final decision as to whether or not you will be a part in that situation. Sometimes certain situations don't deserve a response, do not need to get our attention, or should not even be acknowledged. Other times may require u to speak words of power over the issue to show that u cannot be overtaken by it, your feelings may have to be communicated, or u may find that an examination is necessary in order to uncover how to stay out of situations of that nature. At the end of the day, someone has been in the tempting situation u are currently experiencing, and they have made it out be it unscathed or suffering the consequences. The choice is yours as to what u choose and who u seek counseling from; however, always remember that we don't have to suffer certain hardships if we only chose not to bring them on ourselves.
