J's Journal:
One of the most revolutionary Bible verses anybody ever showed me as a young Christian was I Cor. 10:13: "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." It really helps to know that others struggle with the same temptations we do, and that God will never set us up to fail. He will always get us through the temptation if we allow Him to do so. But will we turn to Him in our time of temptation? That's the question.
I got the idea for this song while driving from Pittsburgh to visit my future wife in Kentucky. I was listening to an '80's CD and looking for another song when "Simply Irresistible" by Robert Palmer came, and inspiration hit. I think I was somewhere near Cincinnati at the time.
