Theme: My God is Faithful
Anchor Text: 1 Corinthians 10:13
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.
What is the standard of measurement that determines the kind of temptations we face? Are the temptations we face in life a random occurrence or is there a filter that dictates that which trickles to us?
Indeed there is a standard and the temptations we encounter aren't by any means random. It is important to understand that the word temptation from the original Greek which is 'peirasmos' meant 'putting to proof'. In other words, the temptations we face exist to prove us; to test what kind of stuff we're made of.
Who else is equipped to carry out such tests than the One who made us. He who knows what He deposited in us and is well aware of our capacity and ability.
Therefore the major factor that determines what kind of temptation that comes our way is the Faithfulness of God. Faithfulness in what sense? This Faithfulness is based on the truth that God will ever be true to testing and proving us not based on any criteria but solely on that which He knows we are capable of.
Just like a manufacturer will never test run a product beyond that it's ability, God will never test us beyond our ability. This is the rule that guides the level of tests that we face.
One interesting thing when this temptation comes is that the God still makes a way of escape for us. Therefore you can always trust God's Faithfulness to get you out our every temptation.
Stay Graced...
