Life often brings moments when we feel overwhelmed by temptation or hardship. Strength in Temptation for those times, it’s easy to believe we’re alone, or that the struggle is greater than we can bear. But Scripture reminds us that God is faithful and will never leave us without a way out. 1 Corinthians 10:13 gives us this assurance:
📖 “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.”
Paul encourages believers by reminding them that temptation is not unique to one person—others have faced the same battles. The key truth is that God’s faithfulness is greater than our weakness. He doesn’t allow temptation to overwhelm us without also giving us strength or a way of escape.
This doesn’t mean life will be free of trials; instead, it promises that with God, no trial is insurmountable.
