One of the greatest promises for the believer is found in 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you but 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 provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it.” No matter how severely tempted we are, if we want to resist it, God will always provide a way for us to escape.

God waves a flag to attract our attention away from evil. a way of escape. Though the wildflower for today does not provide an escape from anything, the word “flag” is appropriate.
