You know, it was Oscar Wilde who once said,

I can resist anything but temptation.

Now, we all know what it's like to be tempted.

And sometimes we feel as though maybe we're being tempted above our capacity to resist.

But the fact of the matter is the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10 13,

there is no temptation taking you.

But such as this common man and God who is faithful will not allow you to be tempted

above your ability to resist but will with the temptation make a way of escape

that you may be able to bear it.

Lose paraphrasers always a way out of every temptation.

Remember when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness?

The devil showed Christ all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time and said,

this is mine, I can give it to him ever.

I choose and if you will worship me, I'll give it to you now.

Jesus comes back with the scripture and says,

it is written.

You shall worship the Lord God and him only shall you serve.
