Rise to You-Jason Castro

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

There are times when we feel as if there is no way out of the mess we get ourselves into. But by God's grace, we do not have to stay in our mess. God always provides a way out if we are willing to reach for Him. Jason Castro sings about this in his song Rise to You:

It feels like more than I can handle
It seems so hard to be hopeful
And all I ask is for a different path
Every way I know is a struggle

Some days I feel so broken down
Just hoping I can make it out
But knowing that You'll see me through
I'm gonna rise to You
Give me all the strength I need
Get me off these busted knees
To do the things that I can't do
I'm gonna rise to You
Rise to You

We never have the excuse that we cannot overcome temptation because Jesus was tempted in every way but never sinned, therefore, we have an opportunity to chose not to sin but instead turn to Jesus and ask for help. Let us not get overwhelmed with the pressures of this world, but instead rejoice in the freedom found in Christ.
