Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop

Scripture:
1 Corinthians 10:13 – “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.”

Reflection:
In life, we all face challenges, temptations, and struggles that feel overwhelming. Sometimes it seems as though we are walking through storms we cannot handle. But this verse reminds us that we are not alone in our trials. What we experience is not unique; it’s part of the human condition. God, in His infinite wisdom, knows our limits better than we do.

Our Father is faithful. He does not allow us to endure more than we can bear, even when it feels impossible. When we feel tempted or burdened, God has already prepared a way of escape, a path to stand firm and endure. Sometimes that way out may be strength to resist, wisdom to choose differently, or even the grace to ask for help. Whatever the situation, we can trust that God is with us, offering a way forward.

When we face moments of weakness, we need to remember that God’s faithfulness provides the strength we need. Rather than feeling defeated, we can stand confidently, knowing that He will always provide a way for us to endure and overcome.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness. In moments of temptation and trial, remind me that You are with me, providing strength and a way out. Help me to trust in Your plan and Your power to carry me through. Amen.

Thought for the Day:
When temptation strikes, God’s faithfulness guarantees a way to stand firm—trust Him to provide the strength you need.
