Word For The Day

1 Corinthians 10:13 -

No temptation has come your way that is too hard for flesh and blood to bear. But God can be trusted not to allow you to suffer any temptation beyond your powers of endurance. He will see to it that every temptation has a way out, so that it will never be impossible for you to bear it. 
(JB Phillips direct Greek-to-English translation)


There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
(King James translation)

But He sure keeps allowing people whose nose I want to punch to cross my path...:-)

Perhaps He's trying to teach you patience, PH. :)

All too common.

Sad but true, my friend ... and all too often.
