1 Corinthians 10

This chapter contains two of my favorite verses: verses 13 and 31.

1 Corinthians 10:13 is a reminder that God will not abandon us when we are tempted. In fact, He won't let us be tempted beyond what we can handle. On top of that, He will make a way of escape! I think this is one of the coolest promises in the Bible. Think about it this way, next time you want that doughnut, or next time that pop up comes around, you can say to yourself, "I can be strong, I can deal with this and resist the temptation, because God is NOT going to allow me more than I can bear." How cool is that?! You and God will be pushing down temptations left and right. Definitely an amazing promise of the Bible.

1 Corinthians 10:31, Paul tells the Corinthians that no matter what we do, do it for the glory of God. Even if you know something is ok, but if even one person thinks it isn't, don't do it. You are looking out for them, not for you. This goes off of 1 Corinthians 8 verses 9 and on. Don't be a stumbling block to others. Their salvation is more important than you personal tastes and styles, or whatever else could get in the way.

Just be a light to others!
