Look around the next time you’re at school, at church, or at the movie theater. Somewhere near the door, you’ll probably spot a glowing red or green sign that says EXIT. Every big building has them. They’re there so that no matter what happens, you can always find your way out.

God puts exit signs in your life too. The Bible says every time you’re tempted to do something wrong, God always gives you a “way of escape.” Temptation is when you really want to do something you know you shouldn’t.

Here’s the thing: everybody gets tempted. Even grown-ups. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. But the Bible says God won’t ever let a temptation be too big for you to handle. The exit is always there. Sometimes the exit means walking away. Sometimes it’s changing the subject. Sometimes it’s saying, “Nah, I’m good.” You just have to look for it and take it.

Take Action: Think of one temptation you face a lot. Now plan your exit ahead of time. Walk through it step by step. Exits are easiest to find when you already know where they are!
