Temptation is something we all face—sometimes in obvious ways, sometimes in subtle ones. Whether it’s the urge to react in anger, reach for a harmful habit, or rely on ourselves instead of God, the struggle is real. But so is God’s faithfulness.
In this Scripture meditation, we’re slowing down with 1 Corinthians 10:12–13, a passage that reminds us we’re not alone in our temptations—and that God always provides a way out. Paul’s words to the Corinthian church are full of warning, yes, but also incredible hope.
This is the second episode in Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re meditating on Scriptures that help us live with strength and confidence in God’s unshakable character.
In this meditation on Unshakable in Temptation, you’ll be invited to:
- Reflect on where you feel most vulnerable to temptation
- Notice God’s faithfulness and how He provides a way out
- Examine any pride or self-reliance you may be holding
- Receive the strength and grace God offers when you struggle
- Rest in the truth that you are not alone
God sees your struggle. He offers you strength, mercy, and a way forward. Whether you’re feeling strong today or weary from the battle, may this time in Scripture renew your hope and anchor you in God’s faithfulness.
Take a few deep breaths, open your heart, and let God meet you right where you are.

The Entire meditation text is:
1 Corinthians 10:12-13
12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. 13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
