Be Joyful in Temptations

1 Corinthians 10:13 AMP
No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].
 
Thank you Jesus for allowing temptations to come my way. If this sounds a bit strange consider this. The verse says “He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist]”, this means that before any temptation comes my way or in your direction, it’s a sign that God was thinking about me, He had you on His mind. What you might be able to bear I might not be able to bear, so God has to calibrate my temptation to fit my particular strength and allow only what He knows you can overcome to be presented to you, and this places His personal attention on me or his focus on you. Therefore, when temptations come, overcome temptation with joy because it’s a personal vote of confidence from God that you can overcome and that God was thinking about you.
The next time that you are tempted don’t look at it as a bad thing, but thank God for it because it’s one way to know that God was thinking about you.
