God does NOT tempt us or entice us to evil

I wanted to address this subject with scripture and make this short.

James 1:13,14-- No one undergoing a trial should say, "I am being tempted by God."  For God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself doesn't tempt anyone.  But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by he own evil desires.

Believers please know that God would not tempt us to do evil or entice us to sin that is of the enemy, satan.
But God will provide an escape for you when you are tempted:

1 Corinthians 10:13 .....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.

If you are struggling with something that has a hold on you and your are tempted, that is not of God that is of the enemy.  Remember He wants you to be set free from sin.  But when we are struggling with an area in our lives, God already knows what you are going through and will always provide an escape out of it we of course have to choose to listen to Him.  We still have a choice of whether we will listen to Him or ignore Him.  If you continue to ignore Him when is trying to tell you something, then you get yourself into trouble.  Remember many times, God warns many times about things that we should not do.  He always knows what's best for us.

I hope this encourages you.
