Day 28 - 1 Corinthians 10:11-17

11 These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age.
12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. 13 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.
14 So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols. 15 You are reasonable people. Decide for yourselves if what I am saying is true. 16 When we bless the cup at the Lord’s Table, aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ? 17 And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body.

So when we are basically mocking the Israelite's in our heads for their ignorant behavior they actually were serving the purpose to warn us so we would not look like fools like them.  We should be thanking them for giving us the examples for what not to do in our own lives.  Kind of like a reverse blueprint.  A blueprint that guarantees disaster and leads to our own demise.  

I am glad that if we are abiding in Christ and following the guidance from the Holy Spirit dwelling in us that we will be shown a way out of every temptation so that we are guaranteed not to fail if we choose to listen.

Verse 12 is super powerful and hits you in the gut.

I am adding verse 13 to my list of promises. Super important one, and very applicable to life every single day.
