Too Hot To Handle

Like the McDonalds cup of coffe, are the temptations, trials and stuff of this life too much?  Just too hot to handle?  There are times when it sure seems to be the case.  The pressure is too much, the guilt is overwhelming, the desire too luring and pain is unbearable.  However, just like the cup of coffee that comes with a warning, "Caution contents are Hot".  Scripture gives us the antidote for the things of life that are too hot to handle.  By the way even though the lady who spilt the hot coffee won the lawsuit against McDonald's....I.don't think that will work with God.

1 Corinthians 10:13 AMP
For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.
