As believers, we all face temptations and struggles in our daily lives. But we can take comfort in the words of 1 Corinthians 10:13, which reminds us that “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.”
This verse assures us that God is always faithful and that He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can handle. He will provide a way of escape for us so that we can endure the temptation and overcome it.
One way to prepare ourselves for these temptations is to put on the full armor of God, as described in Ephesians 6:11-13: “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
When we put on the full armor of God, we are equipped to stand against the devil’s schemes and to withstand the temptations of this evil and chaotic world. It’s also important to remember that Satan is not omnipotent as our God is, and He is limited in what he can do, he can only tempt us, but he can’t force us, so we are in control of our actions and reactions, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
So when faced with temptations, let us remember the words of 1 Corinthians 10:13 and Ephesians 6:11-13 and put on the full armor of God by studying the word daily. With God’s help, we can overcome any temptation and stand victorious.
