I remember being in school and in the building they would have posted on the walls the directions we should take in the event an emergency should happen. All arrows pointed to the closest door with the sign lit in red that spelled E-X-I-T. We all knew that in the event of an emergency if we were able to make it to the exit we would be safe.
In life we will be faced with tests and temptations, but in the event of these emergencies God has provided and will always provide an emergency exit. The text tells that we will all face different tests and that facing tests is nothing new. Also the text tells us that God will not give us a test we are not able to handle and the reason we are able to handle it is because has provided and emergency exit. The beauty is that the text tells us that God is faithful in that the testing will not beyond our strength and God will provide an escape route.
My question is will we be faithful to God and use the emergency exit that God provides. I have noticed that many us like to take a walk on the wild side. We like the thrill of danger and instead of taking the emergency exit we sit there and enjoy the fire too long. God's grace and mercy is abundant and it renews on a daily basis but we must not take this for granted. God is faithful enough to provide an emergency exit when we face danger, let us be faithful and trust God and take advantage of the grace and mercy that God has extended.
God Bless,
Rev
