Identifying life\u2019s seductions that drag us down wrong paths helps us to avoid them. The teacher in today\u2019s verse wants us to follow his example, shunning the temptress and keeping our eyes focused on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus, the perfect teacher, helps us avoid pitfalls when focusing on Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.\u201d 1 Cor. 10:13<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n God gives us a way out of the temptations we face. When you get sucked in by allure, look for the exit door and run to it. Avoid the temptress by staying focused on Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive us for falling for the temptations of this world. As we focus our eyes on You, help us run from temptation, staying on the path of life You offer. Give us victory over the temptress. IJNIP.
