1 Corinthians 10:1-13. No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone...with the testing [God] will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.
 
"I can't stand the pressure. I have to describe our product as the boss says, but I know it's not true," a young salesman told a friend.
Two weeks later they met again. The salesman said, "I thought about Christ in Gethsemane. It looked as though death would end all his work. He must have felt that for the sake of the kingdom of God he had to live on, and he knew he could still escape. It was a decision between right and wrong. He prayed until he knew what was right, then did it in spite of the cross. Peter, in his temptation, didn't pray, so he denied his Master in the pinch.
"Well, I figured I had better try our Lord's way if I were going to call myself a Christian. So I thought through my problems on my knees until I knew what was right; and then I prayed until I wanted to do it. Today I told the boss I was going to tell the truth, and if he didn't like it he could fire me, and I would make my way somehow." (1936)
