No failure is permanent.  We can go back to the cross of Jesus Christ and receive the grace and mercy of God offered through him.  And, by God’s grace, when we find ourselves in a situation where we are tempted again, if we hold on to God and His promises we can overcome.  In times of testing, the question to ask is not, “How can I get out of this?” but rather “What can I get out of this?”  God is at work building your faith.

Scripture reading: Genesis 12:10-13:4
