"THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN TAKE"!------(1 Cor.10:13)

This scripture describes "temptation" as something which "TAKES you"!  That being the case, one might respond by saying, "I can only TAKE so much"!   Well, God knows HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH....and where to "cut things off" before they get out of control!-(Most of the stories of the bible, if left unchecked, would not have turned out like we read them today!)
	Your CAR or TRUCK has fluid levels that must regularly be checked; and 	if a certain level isn't maintained something WILL lock up or come apart! 
Things looked out of control in the bible when:  Moses was chased out of Egypt the 1st time as a murderer/ or 3 hebrews were thrown in the firey furnace/ or when Daniel was fed to the lions/ Joseph was sold by his brothers into Egyptian slavery/ or when Job lost almost everything! 
(Isa.45:3-"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron.")

*WHEN IT COMES TO THE PRESSURES OF LIFE:
(1)-THE MANIFESTED ISSUE OF MANKIND-("common to man")
Temptation is INDIVIDUALIZED-("taken YOU")...but it is also INHERENT-("common to MANkind")
(2)-THE MEASURED INSURANCE OF YOUR MAKER!-("God is")
When it comes to insurance policies, people want to know that they are COVERED!-(Structure/contents/loss of use/adjacent structures!)
(3)-THE MONITORED INADEQUACIES OF MEN-("ye are able")

(4)-THE MEANS INVOLVED TO MANAGE-("able to bear it")
( Cor.12:7-9-"...there was GIVEN to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exhalted above measure.  For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.  And he said unto me, My grace is suficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.")
