Examples to Warn Us

Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

1 Corinthians 10:1-13 NKJV

I like how the NLT has verse 11 worded:  These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. The word of God is our lifeline. Here in the blessed pages is a warning. We must not lust after things of this world. Our treasure should be found in Heaven.

Pray with me please.

Father God,
Thank You for the riches that we find in Your word. Help us to live godly lives. When we sin, speak to our hearts so that we can immediately turn to You for forgiveness. You are our Rock, our Strength and the only One we can always lean on. Your word is true. Your way is right. We want to always do what is right. Please be our strength when we are weak. We need You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
