1 Corinthians 10:13 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.
No matter what temptation you experience, there have been others who have had the same kind of temptation.
The encouraging thing is that God will make a way of escape for you. God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can endure.
Great is Thy Faithfulness
_______________________________
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father.* — There is no shadow of turning with thee. — Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not. — As thou hast been thou forever wilt be.
CHORUS:
Great is thy faithfulness! — Great is thy faithfulness! — Morning by morning new mercies I see. — All I have needed thy hand hath provided. — Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, — sun, moon, and stars in their courses above, — join with all nature in manifold witness — to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, — thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide, — strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow; — blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Thomas O. Chisholm 1923
