1 Corinthians 10:1-13

Paul writes that we should learn from the example of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and subsequent rebellion against God in the wilderness. He notes specific examples of their sins and the resulting punishment from God. He concludes by assuring us that God will not allow us to be tempted beyond our ability to resist and He always provides a way to endure the temptation.

As we deal with temptation in our lives, it is good to know two things: We're not the first ones to ever be tempted and we can look to God to resist the temptation. Temptation is a universal problem with one surefire remedy - trusting in Jesus to guide us through every trial. When we have a personal relationship with Him and He lives in us, doing the right thing becomes more and more natural.
