You can overcome the temptation (2) - All The Word for Today Daily Devotionals for 2026

‘God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able.’ 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV

The Bible says: ‘Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.’ (1 Corinthians 10:12-13 NKJV). The words ‘way of escape’ does not promise you exemption from temptation. Satan, who is called ‘the tempter’, never lets up or takes a day off. But God’s goal is to make you strong where you have been weak. His promise to you is that He ‘… will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able …’

Keep going, even when you think you can’t! God has promised you a way of escape, so keep going and wait for it. Victory is just around the corner, but you’ll never taste the sweetness of it if you give in. As you become stronger in the Lord, the temptations you are battling will become progressively weaker until they lose their appeal, and you begin to walk in victory with ease.
