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.
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.
