No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
The above scripture is what we most often hear about when chapter 10 is mentioned. In fact, I'll include some Tozer today and it's very insightful.
He also reminds us about this verse too,
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
However, the below verse is what I struggle with the most,
And do not grumble, as some of them did —and were killed by the destroying angel. 1 Corinthians 10:10
You see, if there was a degree offered from a college for finding fault and grumbling, I'd have a bachelors, masters and PhD! Instead of finding the positive, I'll often find the issue. This isn't all the time, but it's my personality and I have to fight against it constantly! It's only when I focus on Jesus and His blessings that I can stay positive and content. It's impossible to grumble and do it for the glory of God.
So, join me in reading chapter 10 and let's be encouraged together!
