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.

Application: 

Paul didn’t want the Corinthians to fall as Israel had in the past, so they needed to be careful (10:12). Temptations to sin and trials to develop us come to all Christians alike. No matter what temptation confronts you, know for certain that you are not alone. You have encountered nothing except what is common to humanity (10:13). 

None of us can claim to have faced a temptation worse than anyone else’s. Just as Israel’s path from Egypt to the promised land led them through the wilderness, the same is true for all of God’s people. To get where God wants you, he will test and develop you through wilderness experiences.

Take heart, though. God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able. No temptation or trial will prove overpowering because Christians are no longer slaves to sin; we have the freedom to choose what is good. God will provide the way out; he will grant you the strength so that you may say “no” to sinful temptation (10:13). Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we have the ability to withstand the temptation and pass the test.
