Today's Family Devotion
Josh McDowell
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 so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
THINK
In every contest, there are two opposing sides. It’s true in the athletic world. And it’s true every day of life. On one side, God has a purpose and a direction He wants us to pursue, because He knows it will lead us to the greatest life possible. On the other side, the evil one is doing all he can to keep us from experiencing the most. And one of his biggest weapons is temptation.
Temptation is all about getting us off our game plan. The evil one knows that if he can distract us from pursuing God’s ultimate game plan for our lives, he can keep us from achieving our potential. But God promises us that we will never be tempted beyond what we can handle. It simply takes us turning to our ultimate coach, God, and asking Him for the strength to follow through with His plan for our lives.
PRAY
Thank God for the game plan He has for your life. Ask Him for the strength each day to carry out that plan.
ACT
Get plugged into the local church and find the ultimate team. Find a place to serve and discover the teammates to help you with God’s game plan for your life.
