Overcoming Temptation

Paul uses the example of Israel to teach about temptation and how to avoid it. The promise is clear. God is faithful and will always give you a way to escape temptation. Israel yielded to the temptation to worship idols and to the lust of the flesh. However, temptation is not the problem. Yielding is the problem. Indeed, it only took days to get Israel out of Egypt and we are still trying to get Egypt out of Israel.
