Genesis 39:11 One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. 12 She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
On several occasions, Joseph was sexually tempted by Potiphar’s wife. Joseph refused to yield to his flesh and he continued to honor God. On the last temptation (v.12), Joseph escaped from Potiphar’s wife by running out of the house.
We all face temptations that go against the Word of God. One person’s temptation is sex and another person’s temptation is alcohol. Regardless of the temptations we face, before creation existed, God established an escape plan. We know this because in 1 Corinthians 10:13 it says, The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure.
God understands we will be tempted with sin but, the good news is we don’t have to yield ourselves towards its desires. Whatever temptation you’re facing, sincerely bring it to the Lord. Wait and listen and He will reveal His escape plan for your situation.
Receive Freedom!
