There’s always an exit

When we are in Christ we realize all the advantages we have in serving the Lord, in the sense that we are not walking alone, that we have the powerful hand of God that guides us in every process and moment of our lives.

Being in Christ also opens our spiritual eyes so that we can discern that the Christian life is not just about receiving blessings, but about walking in confidence knowing that God is actively involved in our steps. Every believer must understand that nothing we face is outside of God’s knowledge or His sovereign control. This truth gives us peace even when circumstances seem uncertain, because the presence of God becomes our assurance in each stage of the journey.

For each problem there is always an exit, and is that in the middle of the problem God walks on our side to not allow us to be destroyed in the middle of this race of faith:

12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!
13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13

In the previous verses the apostle was speaking to the Corinthians about idolatry, about how we should flee from idolatry. Then in verse 12 he knocks down the ego of many people who think they are strong or great, and that no one can tear them down. We can not sustain our trust in ourselves but in our beloved and Lord Jesus Christ.

The apostle also encouraged the Corinthians that although they have received many temptations we serve a faithful God, who will not let us be tempted beyond what we can resist. Dear brother, if you are passing through a trial or process, I want to tell you that God will not allow more burden than you can bear, because, God is faithful, and knows our limits.

The final part of this verse should encourage us: “But he will also give with the temptation the way out, so that you can bear it”. Each process has an exit, we just have to be patient and trust in God.

This teaching is a reminder that the Christian walk is not sustained by human strength but by divine grace. Many times we believe we have everything under control, but trials reveal our true fragility and at the same time show us the greatness of the One who sustains us. When we acknowledge our weakness before God, we position ourselves to receive the help that only He can provide. In Christ, every difficulty becomes an opportunity to deepen our trust and to grow in perseverance.

Another important aspect is understanding that temptations and trials are not signs of abandonment. On the contrary, God uses these moments to refine our character, strengthen our faith, and teach us obedience. Even when we feel overwhelmed, His Word assures us that He is attentive to our steps and that He will never allow something to completely destroy us. This truth must anchor our hearts in the darkest moments.

Sometimes the way out God provides is not immediate, nor in the form we expect. At times it comes through patience, through endurance, through learning to rest in His promises. Other times God places people around us to strengthen us, to pray for us, or to remind us that He is still in control. All of this is part of His divine plan to shape us and bring us safely through each situation.

Therefore, let us continue walking in faith, knowing that in Christ we are never alone. His presence goes before us, sustains us, and keeps us firm in the midst of trials. Trust that God has already prepared the exit to every process you face, and that His faithfulness will always be greater than any temptation or difficulty that may arise in your path.
