No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
The verb to tempt meant originally to try, to test, or to prove.

Today's text reminds us that -
* God permits temptations/trials.
* He adapts them to the character and the capacity of the individual - in that He does not let us be tempted beyond what we can handle/control.
* He subordinates them. "Will with the temptation also make a way to escape." Or, "make the issue that ye may be able to bear it."
Whether the trial is a temptation to your patience, honesty, resignation, confidence in God, etc., He will cause this issue to be good. And this virtually will be for you a deliverance.
So, how do we deal with temptation? Just understand and submit to His prompting, choose the escape routes He shows us and run!!!
Further, let us make this our daily prayer: "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.' Matthew 6: 13
