Common to Man

By: Cathi Pope


”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.” I Corinthians 10:13

There have been Christians that have wondered why does so many bad things happen to me. I know as humans we wonder that deep inside, many of us will not admit that on the outside, for fear of being judged by our peers about our faith.

Let’s look at I Corinthians 10:13, I find this to be a very comforting verse.

The word “temptation” in this verse is the Greek word “ekpeirazo” which means, “to test thoroughly”. What Paul is saying here, is that everybody will be tested thoroughly, one way or the other. But because God is faithful, He will not allow anything to come your way that you would not be able to handle.

Now if in fact, you get in to deep with your troubles, then God will make a way for you to get out.

I do know that it has been very encouraging for me personally, every time I have had any kind of trouble that seems to come my way, I remember I Corinthians 10:13 and I know that there will be a way out. And there has always been a way out.

Hopefully, if you are a Faithful Follower of Jesus Christ, you can find the same comfort as I have with I Corinthians 10:13.
