God outsmarts me yet again...

So tonight I just decided I would fall off the wagon. I was having a bad day (thanks to Mother Nature we will just say) and in desperate need of chocolate. One of my best friends just moved into a new apartment and while grocery shopping I thought to myself "What better way to say congrats on the move than with a chocolate cake!" Fully thinking in my head "She'll ask me to eat some and I can't be rude, I will say yes and get my chocolate fix." So I drop off her son (who went with me shopping) and proceed to hand her the cake and say "Congrats on moving to a new place!" Suprised she says "Thanks" and places the cake on the counter. Normally any other night we would have dived in but she proceeded to unpack more boxes and I helped get my nephew ready for bed. It wasn't until after I got in my car to come home it hit me... "We didn't eat the cake." Then I started laughing because did I really NEED the cake? NO! And even when I thought I was being tricky and going about it to try to get what I thought I wanted, God stepped in yet again and managed to trick me right back! I thank him for doing so because I know if I had eaten the cake I would have felt badly and layed the guilt trip on myself as thick as icing was on that cake. He could have allowed me to give in but he didn't. It makes me think of 1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 endure it."
This verse was spoken very clearly to me tonight and was shown through action. He is amazing and I will succeed with my goals as long as he with me.
