Life has a way of giving us some twists and turns along the way. We may believe we are perfectly safe when suddenly disaster strikes.
Spiritually we must always be on guard because temptations are plentiful and take many forms. We must not believe that we have ever arrived at a point where we are beyond the reach of every type and form of temptation.
Whatever the temptation that comes our way there has always been some form of it around in the past. What we are facing with the technology of the 21st century are different forms of the same temptations. The temptations of today can be overcome in the same way they were overcome in the past.
To defeat these temptations we must find the way of escape. God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear and with the temptation there will be a way out. It is unlikely that we will ever be spiritual enough to withstand some temptations but we can escape. If there is a way of escape be sure that God would have you escape and not to sin.
There is no disgrace in running from sin.
There is no dishonor in fleeing temptation.
If you are being tempted and there is a way of escape take it before it is too late.
