"As the Lord co-operated with Daniel and his fellows, so He will co-operate with all who strive to do His will. And by the impartation of His Spirit He will strengthen every true purpose, every noble resolution. Those who walk in the path of obedience will encounter many hindrances. Strong, subtle influences may bind them to the world; but the Lord is able to render futile every agency that works for the defeat of His chosen ones; in His strength they may overcome every temptation, conquer every difficulty. PK 487.1"
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
Both passages address God's support and provision for believers facing temptation and difficulties. EGW expands on the idea of God's cooperation and strength, while 1 Corinthians 10:13 focuses on God's faithfulness in limiting temptation and providing a way of escape. The connection is strong and meaningful.
"in the smallest duties, as well as in the larger responsibilities. PK 487.2"
"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much."
The EGW passage directly echoes the principle of faithfulness in small things from Luke 16:10.
"As God called Daniel to witness for Him in Babylon, so He calls us to be His witnesses in the world today. In the smallest as well as the largest affairs of life, He desires us to reveal to men the principles of His kingdom. Many are waiting for some great work to be brought to them, while daily they lose opportunities for revealing faithfulness to God. Daily they fail of discharging with wholeheartedness the little duties of life. While they wait for some large work in which they may exercise supposedly great talents, and thus satisfy their ambitious longings, their days pass away. PK 487.3"
"His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
Both passages emphasize faithfulness in small tasks leading to greater responsibility and reward, aligning with the parable of the talents.
"Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God."
Both passages encourage individuals to remain faithful in their current calling and not seek something else.
