1 Cor 10:13 "No temptation has over taken you except what is common to us all. 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 endure it."
Temptations in this passage is a Greek word which can mean an enticement to evil or testing in general. And the word should probably be understand in a broad sense to mean both. Satan tempts to destroy us while God test to develop us.
God is faithful. God is involved in this process. He takes what is intended for evil and uses it for our good (Genesis 50:20). We know He doesn't initiate everything that comes our way but He does govern everything. God filters and limits the testing we receive allowing only what we can handle and He also provides the way of escape out of trial. In short, God limits the trials and temptations we receive; not allowing anything we can't handle. And the temptations and trials we experience are meant to develop and mature us not destroy us.
