"God Always Provides A Way Out"

Author: Ruben S. (7th Grade Student)

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13 & Psalms 119:11

"The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 1 Corinthians 10:13

"This verse says to me that we as humankind will always fall into temptation but God always provides a way out he’s Everlasting and great and glorious. Even though we fail he will never fail. There’ s a saying, in times of struggles there is only one set of footprints in the sand, but that is not our footprint, those are Jesus’s footprints, we are being carried on his back. He never left us. He came to us and helped us even more and even though you feel like he’s not there, He’s there and you don’t realize it because you’re being tempted and we just don’t understand what’s going on. As us humans we don’t understand what we can do to do better. Even though we don’t know how to do better. God sent his son Jesus Christ who died and bled on the cross and rose again on the third day to save us. Since the time Adam sinned God had a plan in Jesus so that he didn’t abandon or forsake us.

"I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalms 119:11

This explains how we can find the way out, by keeping his words in our heart. He sent His son who gave us words to keep in our heart . His words remind us to stop, think, and choose what’s right. He always provides a way out.

Prayer

Father, thank you for helping me with things that are hard. Help me remember that you always provide a way out. Amen.
