Read 1 Corinthians 10:12-13.
It's important to understand just how easily we often fall and fail to stay close and right with God. When we move God off the center of our life, the end result is always a move in the wrong direction. When we begin to trust too much in our own knowledge, think too highly of ourselves, or seek the admiration of our others, God is no longer the center point of our life. When we think it's more important for people to hear from us instead of listening for God, we have slipped into a bad temptation. Let’s always understand that we are to be humble servants of Christ, living in awe of His unrelenting love for our often-rebellious hearts.
We should be careful that our journey toward God in life doesn't become a quest to become the God of our life. We should be aware of our weaknesses, never seeking praise from people, but embracing a heart of humility. The verses do not promise that God will never allow us to be tempted beyond what we can personally bear. They clarify our complete dependance on Him in that our way of defeating temptation is through Him alone.
