| 0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net. |
| 0:05.6 | 1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God |
| 0:13.4 | is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability. But with the temptation, |
| 0:18.4 | he will also provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it. |
| 0:24.1 | What a good verse. What an encouraging, comforting reminder for us at all times to have in our minds |
| 0:32.8 | that when we are tempted, which we will all be tempted today in all kinds of different ways |
| 0:37.9 | from all kinds of different directions, the world, the flesh, the devil, all conspiring against us |
| 0:44.4 | at all times. We are bombarded by temptation. So when we are tempted, when you are tempted, |
| 0:51.1 | know this. One, everything you are tempted with is common to man. There is nothing unique |
| 0:56.0 | ultimately when it comes to a temptation in your life. This all goes back to Genesis chapter 3. |
| 1:02.3 | And at the root, every temptation is grounded in doubting the goodness of God, questioning the word |
| 1:09.8 | of God, defying the authority of God. At the root, all temptation goes back to these enticements |
| 1:16.6 | that we see in the Garden of Eden. It's all common to man. Yet God is faithful. As you face |
| 1:23.6 | temptation, God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability. You are not |
| 1:32.7 | a prey to temptation. It is not a predator that has power over you. You have power over temptation. |
| 1:40.7 | And God, with that temptation, will provide you the way of escape. I love that phrase. The |
| 1:47.1 | way of escape was just reading the other day in 1 Samuel 23 when God saves David from Saul who |
| 1:54.0 | was pursuing him, wanting to kill him. And when God saves David, then David calls that place |
| 2:00.1 | the rock of escape. And I thought, oh, that's such a powerful picture. How God guards us and |
| 2:07.2 | protects us and saves us helps us escape. And that's exactly what 1 Corinthians 10 is saying that |
| 2:13.6 | you have a way out of temptation. God will provide you the way of escape so that you may be able |
| 2:21.1 | to endure it. You can come out on the other side and not send. And how is all of this possible? |
