Now all[a] these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
This week we talked about restoration, independence, freedom and our emotional state being like fireworks. Today, the scripture talks about no temptations has overtaken you but what is common to man. Whatever your issue is or whatever you want to improve about yourself, know that you are not alone and God has already provided a way of escape for you with whatever you might be dealing with.
Here are some examples of great men in the bible but they also had weaknesses just like we do.
Weaknesses of Great Men in the Bible
Moses weakness was anger. He killed a man and stuttered but lead the people of Israel out of Egypt after 400 years of bondage and slavery.
Elijah’s weakness was depression. He prayed flesh on dry bones.
Samson’s weakness was women but he had super natural strength.
Peter was impulsiveness and over confidence but he was a disciple of Christ and walked on water.
Judas struggled with greed and stealing but he was a chosen disciple of Christ.
Noah weakness was getting drunk but he built the ark.
Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines but he pleased God when he only asked for wisdom to rule his kingdom.
Abraham was old but he was able to have relations to conceive the child that was promised to him and Sarah. He had no Viagra!
We all have weaknesses but our weaknesses should not be an excuse. God has something for all of us to achieve. In our weakness is where God is stronger if we trust Him.
Have a Blessed Weekend!
