—1 Corinthians 10:8-13
by: Linda Harris.
Most Bibles translate peirasmos (10:13) as “temptation.” But the word also means trial. It’s not only our temptations but our trials that God promises will not overcome us. In the midst of a trial, it may seem that we cannot stand under it. But God has promised to give us the strength to overcome the trial. The Message says, “No test nor temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it.”
