1 Corinthians 10:13–"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 a way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
There seems to be not a day that passes without some temptation that attempts to pull us away from the righteous, the good, and the godly. Fortunately, that is precisely what this verse is about. In it Paul gives us a certain hope for the trials of temptation, that we would find confidence in the fact that God will preserve us amidst temptation. This is a good and awesome thing. We should praise God for this truth and let it build a confidence within us that even though we may be tempted, we need not shrink or cower. We can face temptation with the certain knowledge that God is securing our safe perseverance whilst we face temptation. In response to this, I can only say this:
Praise be to God!
