There are not any of us here today who do not encounter difficulties in life. We face struggles, obstacles and hurdles everyday that drain us of energy and strength. Many of these struggles are the by-product of just living in a fallen world – a world that is corrupted by sin. These products cannot be avoided, done away with or even bypassed because they are common to all men and women who walk in this world. This is what Paul meant when he said, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man…” (1 Corinthians 10:13)
