Exit-
This Way! 1 Corinthians 10:13 – “No
temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is
faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but
with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear
it.” Fire
Marshalls do routine inspections of buildings and facilities and look for
records of emergency evacuation plans.
Schools and businesses are required to practice fire and emergency
drills. Hospitals and health care
facilities must know how to transport non-ambulatory patients in care of fire,
flood, or any life-threatening assault.
All of these actions require that personnel responsible must know the
layout of the building; they must have an action plan in place and they must
practice the plan so that when or if an emergency does arise, they will not be
unorganized, panicked or ineffective in securing the lives of those under their
care and their own safety. God
gives us many instructions in his word of what we need to do to live productive
and safe lives. He gives warnings and
precepts about fear, pre-marital sex; infidelity, greed, covetousness, and even
laziness. If we follow these guidelines
we are more likely to steer clear of many ills and dangers. But God knows our
nature and therefore he also has some added assistance -in case of emergency. When temptation or testing or just the
vicissitudes of life bear too hard upon us, God does factor in plans for our
‘escape’. Just like the lit signs above
doorways, these EXITs are strategically placed to make sure that we not only
see them, but that we can use them in times of need. The only way to make the best use of these
EXITs is of course to 1) know that they exist; 2) know where they are; and 3) know where they lead. God’s
plan for us includes EXITs to help us escape from areas that are too taxing
upon us to allow for our success. Before
you might fold under a certain pressure or succumb to a temptation that could
ruin your life or set you back tremendously, these little EXITs light up and if you are wise you will “Exit –
stage right” and use the opportunity to regroup. Don’t’ be ashamed to bow out for a moment
and get your head on straight; it is better to run than to burn. You are out with friends and want just one more ‘little’ drink to cap
the night off; but somehow the bartender just can’t seem to make it just the
right way and you keep sending it back….take that EXIT. You meet someone and there is just somethingggggg
about them that you can’t quite put your finger on, but red flags start waving
and bells go off in your head….take that EXIT.
You feel like just skipping out on work early or going someplace you
really don’t need to visit and you can’t find your car keys right away or you
keep fumbling and dropping them…take that EXIT.
Like the song from the Color Purple – “God is trying to
tell you something”. Every day is a good
day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day.
2015 is the Year of Manifestation. Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn |
