James 1:13 Tested or tempted

There is a platitude that we're told, "That God will not give us more than we can handle." Which when things seem to be more than we can handle shifts the onus from us to God. He, however is always good and always provides us a way in which we can follow Him. 

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
