Common To Man
1CO 10:11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
[12] So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!
[13] 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.
I remember walking in the woods at times thinking that I was in a place where no one else had ever been before.
The moral of the story ‑ There is nowhere in the woods that you can go
where someone who drinks beer has not been.
We share many things in common for instance.
I was named after Abraham Lincoln.
Not everything translates easily however.
What fits in one situation may not work in another.

1.
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.
v We seem to want to believe at times that no one else in the world has had to face the circumstances that we face.
v If we allow ourselves to believe that my difficult times justify my behavior we deceive ourselves and we make it just about impossible to ever overcome our situation.
v There are people in the Bible who thought this way by times.
Elijah in I Kings 19.
He was a man who was convinced that he faced a unique set of circumstances.
See verse 18.
v There are those who have that martyr complex even today.
They belive that they are the "only ones left".
v Job was a man who faced tremendous obstacles and his gritty declaration in Job 13:15 – Though he slay me, yet will I hope in Him.

2.
And God is faithful: he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
v II Timothy 2:11‑13 God is indeed faithful.
Ill.
My concept of God which was a dual minded Savior.
Eph.
1:14, II Corinthians 1:22, 5:5
v God knows what you can endure.
Many times in despair we offer the emotional sentiment, "I just can't take anymore."
See Hebrews 11 and 12 for your encouragement.
v He will not allow temptation to pass your way which you cannot resist.

3. he will also provide a way out.
James 4:7‑10
v I don't care what you face today ladies and gentlemen, there is a way out.
The Devil's lie is the very opposite.
There is no way out for me ‑ no help.
v Most likely this realization is the very first step.
v The second is to begin to look for the way out and to never stop looking.
There are at times deliverances that are immediate and instantaneous and other times, it takes time.
v Remember that failure is never final unless you stop trying.

The Race
"QUIT!
Give up! You're beaten!"
They shout at me and plead.
"There's just too much against you now.
This time you can't succeed!"
And as I start to hang my head
In front of failure's face,
My downward fall is broken by
The memory of a race.
And hope refills my weakened will
As I recall that scene;
For just the thought of that short race
Rejuvenates my being.
II
A children's race--young boys, young men
How I remember well.
Excitement sure!
But also fear;
It wasn't hard to tell.
They all lined up so full of hope;
Each thought to win that race.
Or tie for first, or if not that,
At least take second place.
And fathers watched from off the side,
Each cheering for his son.
And each boy hoped to show his Dad
that he would be the one.
The whistle blew and off they went!
Young hearts and hopes afire.
To win and be the hero there
Was each young boy's desire.
And one boy in particular
Whose Dad was in the crowd,
Was running near the lead and thought,
"My Dad will be so proud!"
But as they speeded down the field
Across a shallow dip,
The little boy who thought to win
Lost his step and slipped.
Trying hard to catch himself
His hands flew out to brace,
And mid the laughter of the crowd
He fell flat on his face.
So down he fell and with him hope
He couldn't win it now -
Embarrassed, sad, he only wished
To disappear somehow.
But as he fell his Dad stood up
And showed his anxious face,
Which to the boy so clearly said:
"Get up and win the race."
He quickly rose, no damage done.
Behind a bit, that's all -
