None of us are are exempt from temptation. The good
news is: We will never be in a situation of temptation
where we have no alternative but to give in to the sin.
God has guaranteed us a way out so that we don't have
to sin. We still have the free will to go ahead and let the
temptation overtake us. That makes us totally responsible
for our decision. We can't blame anyone but ourselves if we
sin.
Heavenly Father, we are so aware of the subtlety of sin and
how easy it is to fall into its' trap. We ask that you help us
to stay alert and stand firm so that we will take the way out
you provide for us, so that we won't sin against you. In Jesus'
name.
Read 1 Corinthians 10:13
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to
man. 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 stand up under it."
(NIV)
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common
to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
(KJV)

"the subtlety of sins..." "the subtlety of the enemies' strategies..."
