Today’s focus is 1 Corinthians 10:13:
“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…”
There is a famous quip that goes, “I can resist anything except temptation.” While it makes for a good laugh, it isn’t the truth. Paul reminds us here that **God is faithful.** Temptation may strike with force, but it can never kick down a door that God has reinforced. He doesn’t just suggest an exit; He provides a way of escape—every single time.
Modern culture often labels every struggle an “addiction,” suggesting we are fundamentally powerless. But God’s Word says otherwise. We may occasionally choose not to resist, but to claim a temptation was “too strong” is to suggest that God failed His promise.
Whatever pressure you face today, you have the capacity to endure it, because God is faithful to His word.

Suggested Thought for Prayer:
Lord, give me eyes to see the escape and the feet to take it. Thank You for being faithful even when I feel weak.
