Highway 77, which passes through the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia, features a series of runaway truck ramps. These semi-paved exits appear in an area of the highway where the altitude drops nearly 1,300 feet over the course of about 6 miles. This steep descent combined with the roads winding path can create problems for motoristsespecially truck drivers.
Just as a runaway truck needs an escape route from a highway, we also need a way of escape when out-of-control desires threaten our spiritual well-being. When we face temptation, [God will] make the way of escape, that [we] may be able to bear it (1 Cor. 10:13). God enables us to say no to enticement through the power of His Word. Jesus conquered Satans temptation relating to food, authority, and trust by quoting verses from Deuteronomy (Matt. 4:4-10). Scripture helped Him resist the devil despite the effects of a 40-day fast in the wilderness.
When we are tempted, we may feel like disaster is just around the bend. Memories of past failure and isolation from others can intensify this feeling. However, we can trust God in moments of temptation; He is faithful. He will provide a way for us to resist sins allure.
Read: Matthew 4:1-11, 1 Corinthians 10:12-13
