(1 Cor. 10:13 NIV) No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Still another attack of Satan may be along this line: He will whisper to you,

He will remind you of some sin, which has gripped you for years. He will point to something of which you are keenly aware, and say, "You are weak, and you will not be able to stand against others, but not this one."

How will you answer him? Will you attempt to reason? Will you try to produce your own arguments? Will you run to see what other people say? Or will you resort to the invisible Word of God? Know 1 Corinthians 10:13 will allow you to ward off this attack. God promises victory. It belongs to you as his child. Believe him, and you will see how God does things that are impossible with men.
