1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God
is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able,
but with the temptation will also make the way of escape,
that you may be able to bear it.

God is also faithful to the tempted. The faithfulness of God is operating to deliver us also from the temptations that bother us.

Some poor, suffering Christians say, “I feel all boxed in, as if there was a wall all around me.” Someone has pointed out that when you can’t escape to the right, the left, forward or backward, you can always go up. God’s faithfulness is the way out, because it’s the way up, you can be sure of that. Your temptation is common to everybody. If you’re on the borderline of the victorious life and you say, “Under the circumstances in which I live, I just can’t make it,” remember God says your temptation is common to all.
