A Winnable War
You may be in battle right now with thoughts in your head, but you are also in a winnable war. Let that sink in for a moment. Yes, you have all of these thoughts that rush in taking you on a negative path. You spiral down and feel out of control at times. You’re tempted and feel weak in the flesh. BUT take heart … God is right there beside you to ensure that you are not tempted beyond what you can handle. He is there to ensure that you can maintain your composure and self control so that you do no fall into sin.
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.
1 Corinthians 10:13
Even Jesus was tempted, but He did NOT give into temptation. So don’t give me the excuse that you couldn’t control yourself. YES YOU CAN! You just have to choose to do the right thing no matter if you’re in plain sight or where you think no one can see you. Know this: GOD SEES ALL!
Fight the good fight and resist temptation. You CAN win this war. The battle that is going on between your ears in that head of yours, it IS a winnable war. Ask God to help you when you stumble into a situation where you are tempted so that you resist sin, maintain your integrity, and are a person of good morals, value, and character.
