Testing
“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” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
The word for temptation here is really trial or difficulty. That could be a variety of things, but remember — “God is faithful.” He will not allow you to be swamped by the trial so that you don’t make it. If you feel overwhelmed it is because you are not following the pattern of King David, who said, “From the end of the earth will I cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the Rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:2).
He has allowed the difficulty for a reason. Ask Him why He has let this trial into your life. Even though it may seem that He doesn’t hear your cry for help, He really does. And He’s ready to help you. He’ll provide a “way of escape.” Take it!
