"The Lord knew the evil influences that would surround Jacob, and the perils to which he would be exposed. In mercy He opened up the future before the repentant fugitive, that he might understand the divine purpose with reference to himself, and be prepared to resist the temptations that would surely come to him when alone amid idolaters and scheming men. There would be ever before him the high standard at which he must aim; and the knowledge that through him the purpose of God was reaching its accomplishment, would constantly prompt him to faithfulness. PP 184.1"
"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 the idea that God is aware of the temptations and difficulties faced by individuals and provides a way to overcome them. The EGW passage speaks of God preparing Jacob to resist temptations, while 1 Corinthians 10:13 assures believers that God will not allow them to be tempted beyond their ability to endure.
