Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV: No 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.
Paul was reminding the Corinthians of God’s faithfulness to His people here in 1 Corinthians 10. He began the chapter reminding them of God’s faithfulness and provision to their ancestors who wandered in the wilderness for those forty years.
Just as He provided the spiritual food and spiritual water to them, He provided it for the Corinthians and for us. In 1 Corinthians 10:4 we are reminded that Christ is our Rock. The spiritual and supernatural waters that flowed to provide the needs of those in the desert still flow for us today.
The Rock that followed them continues to follow us and His waters guide us. Christ is our Rock and if we follow the flow of His waters, He will provide us the way to His promises for us. As our spirits follow His Spirit, we will witness God’s faithfulness.
Is your faith in a rock or the Rock?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for providing all of the spiritual food and spiritual water I need in Jesus Christ. Just as You have provided for those who have gone before me, I trust Your faithfulness. LORD keep me ever mindful that You are my source and You are always faithful. Amen
