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.<br /><br />That's saying, whatever temptation we face - with God - we can overcome that temptation. we will not be TEMPTED more than what we can say no to with God's help. but people have kind of turned it into "God won't give us more than we can handle"...hope that made sense. i learned that in a bible study.liz mccoynoreply@blogger.com
