More Than We Can Bear

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. 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 stand up under it. (NIV) ICor.10:13

God's Word is often misquoted, omitting the all-important word "tempted". I've even had pastors misquote God in an attempt to comfort me during trials.

If the idea that God never gives us more than we can bear WERE true, then why would I need God?

Today I found a blog entry that says it much better than I ever could. If I did it right, my title should link to it.
