This is one of those verses that's often misunderstood.

Some read, "God won't allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able," and assume God is the One doing the tempting. But Scripture is clear—God does not tempt anyone with evil.

The focus of this passage isn't on who tempts us, but on God's faithfulness.

It says no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man. In other words, you're not facing anything God didn't already know about. And because He is faithful, He has already provided a way of escape.

That's the promise.

Maybe you've missed the mark or fallen more times than you'd like to admit. Don't stay there. God's grace is still sufficient, and His way out is still there.

Look to Him. Lean into Him. Trust His faithfulness more than your weakness. You can overcome because He has already made a way.

Father, thank You for Your faithfulness and for providing a way of escape. Help me keep my eyes on You and choose Your way. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
