“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Cor 10:13; KJV). The word temptation in the Greek has the broad meaning of temptation, trial or test. Isn’t it good to know that all of the tests, trials and temptations that come against us are no different from what every other Christian experiences.

So often we can feel that we are the only ones who have a particular problem, but our verse above says that is not so. Our verse goes on to show us that God is faithful and will not allow us to face something we just can’t handle. God says he will provide us with a way out so that we can deal with the things that come against us.

God is faithful, he will always provide the answer. God never changes (Mal 3:6), nothing can ever separate us from his love (Rom 8:38-39). He is always there for us. If we still ourselves before him and get into his word, he will show us the way out. He will speak to us through his word (John 16:13-14) and in that peaceable still small voice (1 Kings 19:12).
