1Corinthians 10:13
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.
I know temptation very well.
And this verse just has been following me.
Ugh.
Men can be so clever and manipulative JUST like women.
Men can be so clever and manipulative JUST like women.
Luckily, I am a woman so I can see it for what it is.
But why would a man put himself out there in a way to tempt us?
I thought this was something that was saved for desperate women.
Eager to get a mans attention.
EHHHHHH
WRONG!
Guys are just as bad.
They will focus on talking to you and only you at dinner.
Showing you that great favor, emotionally compromising with you.
They will flex in front of you for recognition.
Signs of a man with insecurity.
They will say your name CONSTANTLY!
Looking to get attention from you or make you smile.
They will do all these things...
Without caring one bit for you.
Without worrying if they will be who you dream of,
think of or please yourself to later that night.
They don't care.
This my dear sisters is temptation.
And it is COMMON amongst mankind.
You aren't special.
I am not special.
And they are not dumb.
They know what they are doing.
So be bold girls and FLEE.
Run to the word or rebuke that man.
But don't let it keep you from purity.
God has a man of valor and integrity in store for you.
Be bold my sister.
God will provide the escape.
I am truly learning this these days.
Praise God for that.
