Their Example

Scripture:

11 All these things happened for a reason: to sound a warning. They were written down and passed down to us to teach us. They were meant especially for us because the beginning of the end is happening in our time. 12 So let even the most confident believers remember their examples and be very careful not to fall as some of them did. 13 Any temptation you face will be nothing new. But God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can handle. But He always provides a way of escape so that you will be able to endure and keep moving forward. (1 Corinthians 10:11-13 The Voice) The world we live in today is different than the world Paul is writing about, but the temptations to sin are the same. God has been so faithful to make sure that we have the examples of those who have gone before to teach us. We can avoid many of the mistakes others have made if we pay attention to their examples and not fall into temptation. Father, the temptations of sin are still around us in the world we live in. In fact, they can be loud and clear. Thank You for the examples You have given us in Your Word that can teach us and show us Your ways. AMEN How very kind You are, Lord! You are good and merciful. I love You and know that You hear and answer my prayers. I will pray always. Psalm 116
