– Mark Edward –

This Article is part of the Series: Arsenal on Thought Life – Home Page

You can begin building your own Arsenal on Thought Life with any “week” of your choice in this series.

But first, be sure you have previously read and understand:

Why You Need Arsenals to Make It / How to Build One

If so, then here’s this week’s weapon:

Thought Life Week 6: There IS a way OUT

Take a moment – let this passage soak in:

I Corinthians 10:13

Weymouth New Testament:

No temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength.

But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear it.

Check out the New Living:

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.

MyTake:

I remember many times when I’ve been tempted to do something that I knew was wrong, or look at something that I had no business looking at.Or listen to some morsel of trash or gossip that won’t build me up.

There would be that moment of “Holy Crap!! I shouldn’t do this!”

That epiphany moment is your WAY OUT.

It only lasts for a few seconds.

It’s 5 seconds of sanity during your temporary insanity.

It’s what is promised in verse 13:

Your Way Out.

In that brief moment you can:

Walk away; better yet, run! (aka, close that browser gentleman)
Lift your hands in the air and begin worshiping your Father (I am not kidding).
Speak out loud a weapon from your arsenal – like the one above.

Don’t quit worshiping and speaking it – until the temptation leaves.

It.

Works.

Every.

Time.

Here’s a Brief Reminder on How to Build and Use This Arsenal over time.

Choose just one passage per week (select your weapon)
Add it to your arsenal ** (value your weapon)
Meditate on the passage – get it into your heart (know your weapon)
Speak it out loud daily (get familiar & comfortable using your weapon)
Return – HERE – next week until you’ve fully developed your own Arsenal on Thought Life.

** When adding to your Arsenal, be consistent with your storage system.

Build it on your phone, laptop, or tablet.

Utilize Evernote, OneNote, your Journal, or even 3×5 cards.

Use what works for you.
