I Corinthians 10:13 says…
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

~Did you notice the words in that verse… but God is faithful?

The Gaither Vocal Band sing a song “God is Good”
God is Good, yes He is, He’s Good all the time
God is Good, you know He is, He’s Good all the time
You could search the whole world over, no greater friend you’ll find
He’s not Good just once and a while, He’s Good all the time

~It took some 20 years for all this to come trough for Jacob.
~He was faithful unto God, and God was faithful unto him
~Stand firm in Him is the key
